To edit an inserted object in Excel, you can double-click the object to open the external application that it was created in. This allows you to make changes directly to the object.

The other options are not the standard methods for editing an inserted object:

  • Right-clicking the object and selecting "Edit Object" may work for certain types of objects, but double-clicking is the more common approach.
  • Inserting the object again with the desired changes is not necessary if you can edit the existing one.
  • There is no specific "Edit" tab in the Excel ribbon dedicated to this action.

So the correct answer is: Double-click the object to open the external application.
