Solution

The correct option is A Facsimile
A facsimile is a copy or reproduction of something. Facsimile comes from two Latin roots facere, meaning "to make," and simile, meaning "like." Fax machines are so called because they copy and transmit facsimiles of documents, or faxes for short, over phone lines.
