If a field is linked to a line that gets erased, what occurs to the field?

It remains unchanged
It becomes blank
Its property shows all hash (#) marks
It displays an error message

The correct answer is: Its property shows all hash (#) marks

When a field is linked to an object in AutoCAD and that object, such as a line, gets erased, the field cannot reference the information it was originally linked to. As a result, the field displays a series of hash marks (###) instead of its intended value. This indicates that the field is no longer able to retrieve data because its source has been removed from the drawing. This behavior is indicative of how fields operate within AutoCAD; they rely on their reference objects to provide valid data. When the reference is lost, such as through deletion, the program signifies this loss by showing hash marks, indicating that the field cannot compute or display its intended content.
