Row of options on a computer screen

MENUBAR

Think of the horizontal strip at the top of many applications where you’ll find words like "File" or "Edit"—it’s not the toolbar with icons.

This clue describes the horizontal strip at the top of many computer programs that lists clickable options like "File," "Edit," or "View." The answer is "MENUBAR" because it’s the standard term for that row of menus, combining "menu" (a list of choices) with "bar" (a long, narrow display area). No wordplay here—it’s a straightforward definition matching a common tech term.
