ICT lossy compression trade off – UGC NET Question

Lossy compression removes less perceptible details from media to reduce file size, accepting some loss of quality. Formats like JPEG and MP3 use lossy techniques to achieve efficient storage and transmission. The trade off is between file size and fidelity. Thus, the technique described is lossy compression.

Option A:
Option A is correct because lossy compression is defined by irreversible data loss during compression, particularly in multimedia.

Option B:
Option B, lossless, compression maintains all original information and does not fit the permanent data removal mentioned.

Option C:
Option C, archival, compression suggests long term storage and may require lossless methods, not quality loss.

Option D:
Option D, incremental, compression is not a standard term in this context.
