b.) golden section: a design technique that calibrates a graphic image to the printer
c.) golden ratio: a ratio difference between a4 page and u.s. page paper sizes

Explanation:

• Desktop publishing is software - based, not a geometric layout.
• Golden section is a mathematical ratio concept (\(\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}\approx1.618\)), not a printer - calibration technique.
• Golden ratio (\(\varphi=\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}\)) has nothing to do with paper - size differences.
• WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) accurately describes the ability to preview on - screen what will print.

Answer:

d. WYSIWYG: The ability to view on a computer screen a very close approximation of what will print.
