Which of the following is NOT a feature of the Trim action?

The correct choice stands out because the Trim action is specifically designed to remove leading and trailing whitespace from a text value. It focuses solely on eliminating these extraneous characters without altering the internal spacing of the text. This means that if there are multiple consecutive spaces within the text (not at the ends), Trim does not convert them to a single space—it retains them as they are.

Option D incorrectly describes the function of the Trim action; hence it is the right answer to the question about what is not a feature of this action. The other choices accurately reflect Trim's capabilities: it removes whitespace from both ends of a string (the first choice), it does not alter the original variable but rather returns a new trimmed string (the second choice), and it may give the appearance of shortening the variable's length simply by removing unwarranted whitespace (the third choice).
