A) one of those ancient technology impact printers

Ancient in that it was invented a long time ago.
It's still very much in use and isn't going to be outdated for a very long time...well, not until we rule out using paper all together.

To be able to have the printer create multiple copies using carbon paper, the printer must physically strike the paper to have the character transfer through the carbon paper. Impact printers use a ribbon that is struck by a wheel or a set of pins to make the characters on the paper. Carbon paper is based on applied pressure. The impact from the print wheel or pins is enough to cause the transfer through the carbon paper.

Correct Option(s):

a) An impact printer

Incorrect Option(s):

b) A laser printer - This type of printer will not make duplicates using carbon paper. You would need to print multiple copies using this type of printer.
c) An inkjet printer - This type of printer will not make duplicates using carbon paper. You would need to print multiple copies using this type of printer.
d) There is not a printer that can do this - This statement is not true as you could use an impact printer to accomplish this.
