Question

[107]. Passage:

Archives are not dusty godowns; they are the memory of a society. A land record settles a dispute, a school register proves a child's age, and a letter reveals why a decision was taken. When archives rot, burn or are discarded as waste, citizens lose evidence and governments lose accountability. Digitisation helps only if originals are preserved, catalogued and made accessible; a scanned image without context is a picture, not proof. Societies that keep records keep power checkable. Which inference about archives is best supported by the passage?

The passage makes no claim about this subject
