The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

A matched filter is designed to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the sampling instant.
Purpose:
Shape received signal to match expected waveform.
Helps in reducing Inter Symbol Interference (ISI).
Increases probability of correct symbol detection.
It is matched to the shape of transmitted pulse ⇒ gives maximum output at the sampling point.
