B
Digital
C
Buddhism
D
JPEG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All sound is made up of a continuous analogue soundwave, but digital kit like computers, phones and CD players can’t process sound in its analogue form, which means it has to be converted into a digital signal – a long chain of numbers, made up of ones and zeros – to be stored and processed digitally.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sound, when it is produced, is referred to as an analogue signal. This means that it is constantly changing. However, a computer isn’t able to process this, and the signal needs to be turned into a digital signal of discrete (binary) values. This is done using an analogue to digital converter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Digital audio files, which are the storable and editable collection of samples organized in a standard form, can be stored on computer drives, transferred to other computers or samplers, shared on the Internet to be downloaded, added to video files, or played-back in real time.
