Answer:

A. Legal recognition of electronic records

Read Explanation:

  • Section 4 of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000, specifically deals with giving legal recognition to electronic records. 
  • It states that where any law requires a document, record, or information to be in written, typewritten, or printed form, such requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied if the document, record, or information is in electronic form.
  • This means electronic documents and records are legally valid just like paper documents.
