Read the passage: 'While digital archives have democratized access to historical records from regional Victoria, they lack the physical materiality of original documents—the feel of aged parchment, the faint scent of ink, and margin scribbles that connect researchers directly to the 19th-century authors.' What point is the writer emphasizing?

Digital archives should replace physical paper archives to save storage space. Digital records are unreliable and contain numerous transcription errors. Physical historical documents provide a unique sensory and tangible connection that digital records cannot replicate. Nineteenth-century authors preferred writing in margins rather than main body text.

Correct Answer:

Physical historical documents provide a unique sensory and tangible connection that digital records cannot replicate.
