Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A file format for a non-compressed picture, which is much larger in size than a JPEG or GIF.
A
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
B
JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group)
C
BMP (Bitmap)
D
PNG (Portable Network Graphic)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The . PNG file format is what we would most often use in digital design projects. The . 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -GIF uses lossless compression, meaning that you can save the image over and over and never lose any data. The file sizes are much smaller than BMP, because good compression is actually used, but it can only store an Indexed palette.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because of their different compression processes, JPEGs contain less data than PNGs-and therefore, are usually smaller in size. Unlike JPEGs, PNGs support transparent backgrounds, making them preferred for graphic design.

Detailed explanation-5: -BMP and JPEG are two of the oldest image file types, dating back to the early 1990s. BMP files contain large, raw, high-quality images, which makes them better for editing. JPEG files automatically compress, so they’re generally smaller and of lower quality.
