COMPRESSION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is lossless compression?
A
No information is lost but file size is increased
B
There is no loss of information at all after compression
C
Files which have the exact same data after compression
D
Compression involves an algorithm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lossless compression is a compression technique that does not lose any data in the compression process. Lossless compression “packs” data into a smaller file size by using a kind of internal shorthand to signify redundant data.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lossless compression A compression approach is lossless only if it is possible to exactly reconstruct the original data from the compressed version. There is no loss of any information during the compression1 process.
