B Correct answer
Explanation

Soft copy refers to output displayed on a screen that exists only while the device is powered. It's temporary and can be modified. Hard copy (option C) is printed on paper and creates a permanent record. Soft copy is not always saved to disk - it exists in volatile memory like RAM or display buffers until saved.
