What outcome is described when students bring laptops to class?

• A. It distracts students and reduces engagement
• B. It increases reliance on paper
• C. It helps save paper and materials
• D. It eliminates the need for teachers

Answer: (C)

Using laptops in class shifts how materials are used. When students take notes, read texts, and access resources digitally, the need for printed handouts and physical paper drops. This creates a direct outcome of saving paper and other materials, since much of the coursework can be handled through digital files, online textbooks, and shared documents. While laptops can bring distractions in some cases, the stated effect here is about resource conservation, which makes saving paper the most fitting result. The other options describe outcomes that don’t align with this resource-saving focus—the use of digital tools tends to reduce reliance on paper, not increase it, and it doesn’t remove the role of teachers.
