Final answer:

To change a document's paper size to legal, you should select 'Layout > Paper Size' in most word processing programs like Microsoft Word, and then choose 'Legal' from the paper size options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change the paper size of a document to legal and scale it to fit legal paper size, the correct option from the ones provided would be b) Layout > Paper Size. This option usually applies to word processing software, such as Microsoft Word. Here is how you can change the paper size to legal:

  • First, open the document you need to modify.
  • Go to the 'Layout' tab (or 'Page Layout', depending on your version).
  • From within this tab, find the 'Size' button and click on it.
  • A list of paper sizes will appear. Select 'Legal' (8.5" x 14") from the options.

Once you select the legal size, the document will be set to that size. Keep in mind that if the document was originally formatted for a different size paper, such as standard printer paper (8.5" x 11"), you may need to adjust the content to make sure it fits properly on the new page size ensuring that you maintain attributes such as 1-inch margins and a legible font.
