Detailed explanation-1: -You’ve been given a new cell phone with a 4 gigabyte data plan. You plan to use your phone for sharing videos, and music. Which of these categories are best compressed using lossy compression? Video should use lossy compression because it usually has a large file size which we need to reduce.
