Correct Response: C. A scanner creates an image of a document. In order to turn this image into an editable word processing document, the image must be analyzed to recognize each individual character. This function is performed by optical character recognition software. A is incorrect because a device driver allows a computer to communicate with a device such as a scanner, but it cannot convert an image into editable text. B is incorrect because an image editing application can manipulate an image, but it cannot convert an image into editable text. D is incorrect because data encryption/decryption software is used for information security and not for converting an image into editable text.
