Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What image file type is best used for animated graphics?
A
GIF
B
TIFF
C
PNG
D
JPEG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -GIF is a good choice for simple images and animations, although converting full color images to GIF can result in unsatisfactory dithering. Typically, modern content should use PNG for lossless and indexed still images, and should consider using APNG for lossless animation sequences.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use JPEG format for all images that contain a natural scene or photograph where variation in colour and intensity is smooth. Use PNG format for any image that needs transparency, or for images with text & objects with sharp contrast edges like logos. Use GIF format for images that contain animations.

Detailed explanation-3: -JPEG is far better for photographs, while GIF is great for computer generated images, logos and line-art with limited palettes. A GIF will never lose its data. It uses lossless compression. It uploads quickly since these files are usually low resolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -PNG is a high-quality graphics format – generally higher in quality than JPEGs, which are compressed to save space. The PNG format uses lossless compression and is generally considered a replacement to the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF format).
