Answer 1

The correct option is A made up of six dots that fit under the fingertips, arranged in two columns of three dots each.

Braille was named after the creator, Louis Braille, a Frenchman who lost his sight as a result of a childhood accident. It involves the usage of 6 dots and the direction is left to right. The paper used is thought as a file folder or index card for proper sensing by the visually impaired people. The characters have rectangular blocks called cells that have tiny bumps called raised dots. The cells are arranged in two columns of three dots each.

So, the correct answer 'made up of six dots that fit under the fingertips, arranged in two columns of three dots each'.
