Solution

The correct option is B TWAIN

TWAIN is a term related with scanners.

TWAIN is a widely used software that allows you to scan an image directly into an application such as Neat. Consult your device manufacturer to find out if it is certified as TWAIN-compliant. Related Articles. Scan With Third Party Scanners.

The word TWAIN is not officially an acronym, but it is a backronym. The official website notes that "the word TWAIN is from Kipling's The Ballad of East and West — '...and never the twain shall meet...' — reflecting the difficulty, at the time, of connecting scanners and personal computers.

If you are not sure whether your scanner is TWAIN compliant, you can use TWACKER, a tool developed by the TWAIN Working Group, to verify it. Click menu File->Select Source and select your device in the 'Select Source' list. If your device is not listed, please check if the driver is installed.

TWAIN is a standard for the application program interface (API) between image input devices (such as scanners) and applications which control the image input devices. Using a TWAIN-compliant application and a TWAIN-compliant scanner with a TWAIN-compliant driver enables users to operate any scanner in the same manner.
