Which element in an assembly allows you to view the properties and attributes of components?

The Component Properties panel is the correct choice because it specifically provides a dedicated interface for viewing and managing the properties and attributes of individual components within an assembly. This panel allows users to access detailed information such as dimensions, materials, and other specific attributes that are critical for design and analysis.

The Assembly Navigator primarily organizes and displays the hierarchical structure of the assembly, showcasing the relationship between components, rather than directly displaying properties and attributes. The Part Family Browser is designed for managing variations of parts within a family but does not provide detailed attributes for each component in an assembly context. The Model Manager focuses more on general file management and version control across different models rather than the specific properties of assembly components.
