Why each option
Word Extractor is a forensic tool that scans binary files and extracts printable human-readable strings, making it the correct choice for interpreting raw binary data.
FTK Imager is a forensic disk imaging and evidence acquisition tool used to create bit-for-bit copies of storage media, not to extract readable text from binary files.
Word Extractor parses binary file content and pulls out printable ASCII or Unicode character sequences, converting unreadable binary data into human-understandable text that investigators can analyze for evidence or artifacts.
FAU (File Access User) is a utility associated with file access auditing and monitoring, not with converting binary file content into human-readable form.
Galleta is a specialized forensic tool for parsing and analyzing Internet Explorer cookie files, not a general-purpose binary-to-readable-text extractor.
