The software achieves justification by dynamically adjusting the amount of whitespace (kerning and tracking) between words on each line. If a line is too short, the application increases the gaps between words; if a line is too long, it may implement hyphenation to wrap syllables to the next line to maintain the margin consistency.
Justified text is visually balanced and professional for formal documents.
It requires word processing engines to calculate line breaks (line-breaking algorithm) before rendering.
Excessive spacing can occur in narrow columns if the words are very long.
Hyphenation is often used in conjunction with justification to avoid 'rivers' of white space.
Provides a clean, uniform, rectangular block appearance.
Enhances readability in structured column-based layouts like newspapers.
Can create irregular, distracting gaps between words if the text is narrow.
May decrease legibility for individuals with certain reading difficulties due to uneven word spacing.
Newspaper and magazine column layout.
Formal report and book publishing.
Academic journal article formatting.
Option A is Left Alignment (flush left, ragged right).

In competitive exams, remember that 'Justify' aims for aesthetic uniformity by manipulating word spacing, which distinguishes it from basic alignment options like Left, Right, or Center.
