What happens to the quality of vector graphics when scaled?

• A. Quality increases with scaling.
• B. Quality decreases with scaling.
• C. Quality remains the same when scaled.
• D. Cannot be scaled.

Answer: (C)

Vector graphics are resolution-independent, so scaling changes the size without changing edge sharpness. Because shapes are defined by mathematical formulas, scaling just recalculates coordinates and stroke widths proportionally, keeping lines crisp and curves smooth at any size. This is why logos and icons made as vector stay sharp from a tiny badge to a large banner. If you export to or work with a raster bitmap, scaling can introduce blur or pixelation, since that format uses a fixed grid of pixels. The idea that quality increases with scaling or that vectors cannot be scaled doesn’t fit their nature, and the notion of quality decreasing with scaling applies to raster images, not vector graphics.
