Which of the following graphic formats can be used for the web?

  1. TIFF, GIF, JPG, EPS.

  2. GIF, JPG, PNG, PSD.

  3. PNG, SVG, BMP, JPG.

  4. JPG, JPEG, PDF, GIF.

The correct answer is: GIF, JPG, PNG, PSD.

The correct answer includes graphic formats that are widely supported and optimized for use on the web. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is popular for animations and graphics with limited colors. JPG (or JPEG - Joint Photographic Experts Group) is commonly used for photographs due to its efficient compression, which makes images load quickly on websites. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is favored for its support of transparency and lossless compression, allowing for high-quality images without loss of detail. In contrast, options that include TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), and PSD (Photoshop Document) are not typically used for web graphics, primarily because they either support uncompressed images that are too large for optimal web loading or are proprietary formats that require specific software to view. BMP (Bitmap) is another format that, while it can be displayed on the web, is less efficient due to its larger file sizes. PDF (Portable Document Format) is not primarily designed for web images, as it is used for documents rather than for web graphics. This makes the selection of GIF, JPG, and PNG the most suitable for web utilization.
