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

Detailed explanation-1: -Lossless compression (like PNG) is reversible (no loss in quality); you can reconstruct the original data. It works by removing redundant data. Lossy compression (like JPG) is not fully reversible; you can only reconstruct an approximation of the original 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.
