What is a prefab?

• A. A preconfigured asset that serves as a template allowing you to easily create duplicate instances in the game scene.
• B. A scriptable object that runs in editor
• C. A texture atlas
• D. A lighting profile

Answer: (A)

Prefabs are reusable templates that capture a configured game object, including its components and child objects. They let you drag from the project window into the scene to create duplicates quickly, and changes to the prefab asset can propagate to all its instances (while still allowing per-instance overrides). This makes building levels faster and ensures consistency across many similar objects. They’re not a scriptable object, a texture atlas, or a lighting profile—the prefab is specifically the reusable game object template you instantiate in your scenes.
