Which of the following are sound file types?
A
MP3
B
FLAC
C
AAC
D
JPEG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -AAC. Advanced Audio Coding, or AAC files (also known as MPEG-4 AAC), take up very little space and are good for streaming, especially over mobile devices. Requiring less than 1 MB per minute of music and sounding better than MP3 at the same bitrate, the AAC format is used by iTunes/Apple Music, YouTube, and Android.

Detailed explanation-2: -MPEG vs AAC Advanced Audio Coding or AAC is simply a subset of MPEG as it is a part of the MPEG-4 Part 3 standard. MPEG is used in a lot of applications. It is used in encoding video files like movies and clips to a digital format. As we can clearly see from the name, AAC is only used when encoding sound files only.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main types of audio file-lossless file formats, and lossy file formats. The difference between the two has to do with data compression. Data compression means making the files take up less space on a hard drive.
