What is meant by Colour Depth?
A
Number of pixels in the image
B
The number of colour available for each image
C
How pixelated the image is
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Color depth refers to the amount of color that each pixel can display. It is measured by the number of colors each pixel in an image can show. The higher the color depth, the more colors an image can display. Pixels store color information in a specific number of computer bits, ranging from one bit to 48 bits.

Detailed explanation-2: -The number of bits determines the range of colours. This is known as an image’s colour depth . For example, using a colour depth of two, ie two bits per pixel, would allow four possible colours, such as: 00-black.

Detailed explanation-3: -The higher the color depth, the better your images will generally look on the screen. Images viewed at the 16-colors setting will usually look less refined than the same images viewed at the 256-colors setting because there are not as many colors to display tones and variations.
