A developer compresses a database export by rounding every currency amount to the nearest dollar and then zipping the file. How should the overall process be classified?
A
Lossy overall, because rounding discards information before the lossless ZIP step.
B
Lossless overall, because ZIP is always lossless after any preprocessing.
C
Lossless overall, because currency values are still readable.
D
Audio compression, because the data has numbers.
