Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does lossless mean?
A
reduces file size by eliminating some data
B
reduces file size without losing data
C
how an image is saved to reduce file size
D
how easy it is to transfer, view, and edit files
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With lossless compression, every bit of data originally in a file remains after it is uncompressed, and all the information is restored. Lossy compression reduces a file by permanently eliminating certain information, especially redundant information.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lossless compression uses an algorithm to shrink the image without losing any important data. Essentially, it rewrites the file to make it more efficient-resulting in a smaller storage or transfer size. One way the algorithm does this is by replacing non-essential information and storing them in an index file.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
