The right answer is A.scanning.

Scanning is a reading technique that consists of quickly scanning the text until you find the specific information you want. Scanning is a routine practice in people's lives. Some typical examples are the use of the dictionary to obtain information about the meaning of words or the use of the index of a book to find an article or chapter of interest. This technique does not require complete reading or detail of the text.
