Why is the JPEG format considered to be lossy?

It loses data during data compression.
The file marker is easy to lose.
The encoding can be lost, making the picture useless.
Lossy is programming jargon referring to the algorithms that JPEG uses.

Explanation

Answer: A - JPEGs are called lossy because some of the data is lost during compression when converting a file to JPEG format. Lossy compression is good for reducing the file size of media that doesn’t need great resolution, such as a small icon. Other formats offer lossless compression if maintaining high definition is important.
