Lossless compression is primarily used for text files, while lossy compression is primarily used for images and audio files.
B
Lossless compression guarantees that the original data can be perfectly reconstructed, while lossy compression only allows for an approximation of the original data.
C
Lossy compression always achieves a greater reduction in file size than lossless compression, regardless of the data being compressed.
D
Lossy compression algorithms require significantly more processing power to decompress data than lossless compression algorithms.
