Select the advantages for lossy compression (more than one answer!)
A
Makes the file much smaller
B
Will send much quicker
C
A very simple algorithm
D
The quality will not be affected much
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The biggest benefit of lossy compression is that it significantly reduces the size of the image file. On the other hand, the biggest disadvantage is that this is achieved with some loss of quality-even though, as we explain, it’s almost imperceptible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lossy vs lossless summary. Before compression, digital pictures can be huge in size – but you need to find the right kind of compression for your images and files. Lossy will save you the most space, but can affect your image quality. Lossless saves less space, but won’t usually impact your image quality.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main advantage of lossless compression is you don’t have to worry about degrading the quality of a picture or making it look pixelated. Also, unlike with lossy compression, you can restore an image to its original format without any data loss.
