What is the main advantage of SVG files?

• A. Lossy compression with small file sizes.
• B. Lossless compression with very small file sizes, retaining quality at any size.
• C. Only supports grayscale.
• D. Requires bitmap rendering.

Answer: (B)

SVGs are vector graphics, meaning they describe images with shapes, paths and coordinates rather than pixels. Because of that, they scale to any size without losing clarity—the edges stay crisp no matter how big or small you make them. This scalability is the main advantage, and it’s complemented by the fact that the text-based description can be compressed without losing information, giving small file sizes for simple graphics while preserving quality at any size. The other statements don’t fit: lossy compression isn’t how SVGs work, SVGs aren’t limited to grayscale, and they don’t require bitmap rendering.
