What is the default visibility status of controls on a form?

The default visibility status of controls on a form is that they are visible to users. This means that when a form is created, the various controls such as text fields, dropdowns, and buttons are set to be displayed to the end-user by default. This design choice is made to facilitate user interaction and ensure that users have immediate access to the necessary elements for data entry and form submission. Users can see and utilize these controls without needing any additional settings or permissions.

The other choices present alternative scenarios that are not applicable as default behavior. For instance, stating that controls are hidden would not align with the design intent for intuitive user experience, while requiring permissions complicates user access unnecessarily in typical use cases. Additionally, visibility only in edit mode would limit functionality during the view phase, which isn't standard practice for most forms.
