Question

consider these files. a 3 - second audio recording of a babys first word. a 30 - second video recording of a babys first steps. is it possible for the 30 - second video recording to have a smaller file size than the 3 - second audio recording? choose 1 answer: a yes, but only if the 30 - second video is recorded with a smartphone. b yes, but only if the 30 - second video is saved using a patented standard. c yes, if the 30 - second video is compressed with a lossy compression algorithm. d no, the 30 - second video will always take up more space than a 3 - second audio recording.

Explanation:

File size depends on factors like resolution, bit - rate, and compression. Lossy compression algorithms can reduce video file size significantly. For example, a highly compressed low - resolution 30 - second video can have a smaller file size than a high - quality 3 - second audio recording. Recording device (smartphone) or standard (patented) are not the determining factors for the possibility of a smaller file size.

Answer:

C. Yes, if the 30 - second video is compressed with a lossy compression algorithm.
