• C. Use the "˜Read Text with OCR' option of a Blue Prism Read Stage on Regions
• D. None of these options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is specifically designed to interpret and extract text from images, which is what scanned handwritten documents are.
