Which format allows editing of text from a scanned document?

The correct answer is C, as OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. This technology is specifically designed to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents or images captured by a digital camera, into editable and searchable data. When a scanned document is processed using OCR software, it recognizes the individual characters and words, allowing users to edit the extracted text as if it were originally created in a word processing application.

In contrast, PDF is primarily a format designed for viewing documents while preserving their formatting, but it does not inherently support text editing unless the PDF is created from an editable source or has been modified using specific software. JPEG and TIF are image formats that store visual information rather than editable text. While you can store scanned documents in these formats, they do not provide any way to edit the text contained within the images without the aid of OCR technology. Therefore, OCR is the format that specifically enables the editing of text derived from scanned documents.
