Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Soft copies are harder to steal.
C Easier to obtain a copy of a land record for a small fee.
D Hard copies get damaged over time.

The government has begun computerising land records and other official documents in order to secure them better and prevent physical damage that may occur over a period of time. It has also become easier to obtain a copy in exchange for a nominal fee. However, computerisation does not mean that one can edit an official document—that job belongs to the patwari.
