- D.

Correct Answer
C. Less characters per line than the same document in landscapeExplanation
In portrait mode, the document prints with less characters per line compared to the same document in landscape mode. This is because the orientation of the paper is different in portrait and landscape modes. In portrait mode, the paper is taller than it is wide, so there is less space available horizontally for characters. As a result, the document needs to wrap the text to the next line more frequently, resulting in fewer characters per line compared to landscape mode where the paper is wider and allows for more characters to fit in a single line.Rate this question:
