The correct option is A A bar code

Codes consisting or Bars or lines of varying widths or lengths that are computer-readable are known as A bar code.

UPC-A barcodes carry GTIN-12 numbers as defined by GS1 US. In its standard version (UPC-A), the bar code consists of a five digit manufacturer number and a five digit product number. In addition there is a 1 digit number system identifier at the start of the code. ... The 100% code is the same size as a 100% EAN.

Contains a very limited amount of data. It is typically just an identifier on a database of that particular product. In the case of UPC codes there is a standardized database so your code is assigned to you for each product. In 2D and larger barcodes you can pretty much put in whatever information you like.

Scanning head shines LED or laser light onto barcode. Light reflects back off barcode into a light-detecting electronic component called a photoelectric cell. ... As the scanner moves past the barcode, the cell generates a pattern of on-off pulses that correspond to the black and white stripes.
