The function that removes a window from the screen without closing it is minimizing. When you minimize a window, it reduces the window to an icon or a small representation on the taskbar, allowing you to clear the screen while still keeping the application open in the background. This functionality is beneficial when you want to quickly access other parts of your workspace without losing your progress in the minimized application.

The maximize function enlarges the window to fill the entire screen, while the close function completely shuts down the application, ending all processes associated with it. The restore function is used to return a maximized window back to its previous size. Therefore, minimizing is the only option that effectively allows you to remove the window from view while keeping it accessible for later use.
