C) irreversible
D) reversible

Question

Data is compressed by removing redundant information using _____ compression.
A) ​lossless
B) ​lossy
C) ​irreversible
D) ​reversible

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lossless compression removes redundant information without losing any data. The original data can be reconstructed exactly from the compressed data. On the other hand, lossy compression removes some data to achieve higher compression ratios, resulting in some loss of information or quality. Irreversible and reversible are not terms used to describe compression methods.
