How does the Unity Lighting window help you configure baking parameters?

• A. It provides controls for baked GI, realtime GI, lightmap resolution, ambient lighting, and bake-related timing and sample settings.
• B. It only adjusts sun position.
• C. It manages post-processing effects.
• D. It configures physics layers.

Answer: (A)

The Lighting window is where you control how global illumination is baked and how the scene’s lighting is computed. It includes switches for using baked GI and realtime GI, so you can choose precomputed lighting for static parts and dynamic lighting for moving elements. It also lets you set the lightmap resolution, which determines how detailed the baked textures are (higher resolution = sharper lighting details but larger files and longer bake times). Ambient lighting settings define the overall environment tone that fills in light where direct light doesn’t reach, important for both baked results and the mood of the scene. Bake-related timing and sample settings control how long the bake runs and how many samples or bounces the baker computes, which directly affects the quality and speed of the final lightmaps.

Why this is the best fit: those controls—baked versus realtime GI, lightmap resolution, ambient lighting, and the bake-time/sample configurations—are precisely what you adjust in the Lighting window to configure baking. The other options describe tasks handled elsewhere (sun position on a single light, post-processing effects, or physics layers) and aren’t what the Lighting window is for.
