Under the rules, which statement about written material or any other medium is correct?

• A. Only printed documents
• B. Electronically stored information is included
• C. Audio recordings only
• D. Handwritten notes

Answer: (B)

The concept tested is that written material covers more than just paper; it includes electronic and other media. Under the rules, a writing isn’t limited to printed documents or handwritten notes. A writing can be any tangible form that records information, and a recording covers information stored in any medium, including electronically stored information. This broad definition means that emails, digital files, databases, and other electronically stored data are treated as writings or recordings for purposes of the rules. That’s why the statement that electronically stored information is included is correct. The other options are too narrow, focusing only on printed, handwritten, or audio-only materials, which doesn’t reflect the include-broad-scope approach of the rule.
