What is the fundamental requirement for the Morph transition to work effectively in presentation software?

The Morph transition in presentation software creates a smooth animation by moving, resizing, or changing the color of objects and text that appear on both the preceding and succeeding slides. It essentially "morphs" one state of an object into another.

• "Ensure only Slide Master objects exist across both slides so Morph can interpolate." (Morph works with any objects, not just those on the Slide Master.)
• "Ensure matching objects/text exist across both slides so Morph can interpolate." (This is the fundamental requirement for Morph. It needs to find the same object or text on both slides to animate its transformation.)
• "Ensure no matching objects/text exist across both slides so Morph can interpolate." (This is incorrect; if there are no matching objects, Morph cannot perform an interpolation.)
• "Ensure images replace all text so Morph can interpolate." (Morph can animate both images and text, and this condition is not necessary for its function.)

The core principle of the Morph transition is to animate matching elements.

The correct option is:
Ensure matching objects/text exist across both slides so Morph can interpolate.
