What device is used to capture data from a physical document?

Scanner
Printer
Keyboard
Monitor

The correct answer is: Scanner

A scanner is a device that captures data from a physical document and converts it into a digital format that can be stored and viewed on a computer. This is done by using a light source and sensors to detect the color and intensity of each pixel on the document. A printer, while also a device used for processing documents, does not capture data from a physical document. It rather prints out a physical copy of a digital document. A keyboard is used for inputting data, but not for capturing it from a physical document. A monitor is used for displaying data, but not for capturing it.
