Answer & Explanation

Correct Answer: Option A — Optical Character Reader
While the "scanned image" itself is created by a scanner, OCR is the specific technology (often integrated into hardware/software input systems) used to recognize the shapes of handwritten or printed characters and convert them into editable, digital text.

Quick Breakdown of the Options:
Optical Character Reader (OCR): Specifically designed to "read" text from images and translate it into a format you can edit in a word processor.

Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR): Used almost exclusively by banks to read those unique numbers at the bottom of checks printed with magnetic ink.

Digital Camera: This captures the image, but it doesn't "understand" the text within it—it just sees a grid of colored pixels.

Keyboard: This is for manual data entry. Preet could use it to re-type the text, but it wouldn't be "converting" the scanned image automatically.
