Which statement correctly distinguishes raster and vector graphics?

Options

  • A. Raster graphics are pixel-based, while vector graphics are based on mathematical paths
  • B. Raster graphics are always resolution-independent
  • C. Vector graphics are made only from individual pixels
  • D. More than one of the above
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

A. Raster graphics are pixel-based, while vector graphics are based on mathematical paths

Detailed Explanation

Raster images are composed of pixels and may lose quality when enlarged significantly. Vector graphics use mathematical paths such as lines and curves and can generally be scaled without losing their fundamental quality.
