Solution

The correct option is A O.M.R

An optical input device that interprets pencil marks on paper media is O.M.R.

Optical mark recognition (also called optical mark reading and OMR) is the process of capturing human-marked data from document forms such as surveys and tests.

The OMR card by itself is not considered an input device. However, the OMR reader that reads the card is sending data (input) to the computer, which is why it is considered an input device.

The prime function of the OMR machine is to scan and capture the optical marks on the multiple choice scoring sheets, and save the data into an output file which you can use to perform further analysis.

OMR stands for Optical Mark Recognition. This popular recognition technology is used for collecting data from “fill-in-the-bubble” forms such as educational tests, surveys, assessments, evaluations, and many other multiple choice forms. OMR has been widely used in education since the 1960s and is still popular today.
