Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 349
If you are concerned about a high level of compression but not concerned about any possible data loss, what type of compression would you use?
Answer options
- A. Lossful compression
- B. Lossy compression
- C. Lossless compression
- D. Time-loss compression
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Lossy compression, as it allows for significant data reduction by permanently removing some data, which is acceptable if data loss is not a concern. Option A, Lossful compression, is not a standard term and does not apply. Option C, Lossless compression, maintains all original data but does not achieve the highest compression rates. Option D, Time-loss compression, is not a recognized type of compression.
