Which statement describes vector graphics?

• A. Vector uses raster pixels and scales poorly.
• B. Raster uses mathematical paths and scales without quality loss.
• C. Vector formats include JPEG, PNG.
• D. Vector uses mathematical paths and scales without quality loss.

Answer: (D)

Vector graphics are described by mathematical paths—points, lines, and curves—rather than fixed pixels. Because of this math-based description, the image can be scaled to any size without losing sharpness or detail, which is essential for logos and typography that need to stay crisp at various resolutions. Formats that store these descriptions include SVG, AI, and EPS. In contrast, raster graphics are made of pixels, so enlarging them leads to blurriness or pixelation. So the statement that best describes vector graphics is that they use mathematical paths and scale without quality loss. The other ideas mix up raster and vector concepts or incorrectly name raster formats as vector.
