Correct Answer:
A. AutoRecover
To minimize work loss in MS Word due to system crashes, configuring AutoRecover is the most effective solution. AutoRecover is a crucial feature that automatically saves temporary copies of your document at regular, user-defined intervals. If the application or system unexpectedly shuts down, Word attempts to recover the latest automatically saved version when you restart the program, significantly reducing data loss.
- While a save interval is a setting within AutoRecover, AutoRecover itself is the overarching feature that performs the recovery.
- A document password protects the document from unauthorized access, not from data loss caused by system failures.
- Print settings control how a document is printed (e.g., margins, paper size) and have no function related to data recovery after a crash.
