None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -LZ78, like LZ77, has slow compression but very fast decompression. LZ78 is faster than LZ77 but doesn’t always achieve as high a compression ratio as LZ77.
Detailed explanation-2: -The compression algorithm searches the window for the longest match with the beginning of the lookahead buffer and then outputs a pointer to that match. Because even a 1-byte match might not be found, the output cannot only contain pointers.
Detailed explanation-3: -LZW is a simple variant of LZ78: when a code is output, instead of then outputting the code for the next single character in the input, it uses the next character as the beginning of a new character sequence.
