Smaller fonts in order to fit the same amount of characters per line with landscape
Correct Answer
C. Less characters per line than the same document in landscapeExplanation
In portrait mode, the document prints with fewer characters per line compared to the same document in landscape mode. This is because the width of the page is narrower in portrait orientation, which limits the number of characters that can fit on each line. As a result, the text may wrap to the next line sooner, reducing the number of characters per line.Rate this question:
