A
PSD
B
GIF
C
PNG
D
TIFF
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A TIF is a large raster file that doesn’t lose quality. This file type is known for using “lossless compression, ” meaning the original image data is maintained regardless of how often you might copy, re-save, or compress the original file.

Detailed explanation-2: -TIFF (. TIFF or Tagged Image File Format are lossless images files meaning that they do not need to compress or lose any image quality or information (although there are options for compression), allowing for very high-quality images but also larger file sizes.

Detailed explanation-3: -PNG, or Portable Network Graphic, tends to have a larger file size than the other two formats, but it also preserves hard edges and can handle a high amount of colors while keeping the load time fast enough to use online.
