The correct answer is: B. The laser transfers the image from the drum to the paper.
During the transfer stage, a laser is used to create an image on the surface of a drum. The drum is then coated with toner, which is a fine powder that is attracted to the charged areas of the drum. The toner is then transferred to the paper, and the paper is then heated to fuse the toner to the paper.
Option A is incorrect because residual toner is transferred to the waste receptacle during the cleaning stage.
Option C is incorrect because the image is transferred from the drum to the paper during the transfer stage.
Option D is incorrect because a negative charge is transferred to the surface of the drum during the charging stage.
Option E is incorrect because the laser transfers the image from the drum to the paper during the transfer stage.
