Which is a hard copy of a slide or presentation typically distributed to an audience?

• A. Header
• B. Legend
• C. Footer
• D. Handout

Answer: (D)

Handouts are the printed copies of a slide deck or presentation meant for audience use. They’re distributed to attendees so they can follow along, take notes, and review the material after the talk. This directly matches the idea of a hard copy given to an audience. The header and footer are elements of the slide’s layout that appear on every page—a top and bottom area with titles or page numbers—not separate packets to hand out. A legend is a small box on a chart that explains symbols or colors. These elements are parts of the presentation itself, not the audience-facing packet used for reference.
