B.Scanning✓ Correct
C.Bottom up reading
D.Critical reading
Explanation
Scanning is reading rapidly to locate SPECIFIC information (e.g., a particular fact, name, date, number, technical specification). Reading a manual to find specific instructions or details is scanning. Skimming, by contrast, is reading quickly to get the GIST/overall idea of a text. Bottom-up reading and critical reading are different processes. Looking for specific information = scanning.
