Renata O.Jan 27, 2026The correct answer is D. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, and it is literally written as XML markup, so you are describing shapes, paths, and coordinates in plain text rather than storing a grid of colored pixels. That XML-based nature is what makes SVG resolution-independent, meaning the graphic scales to any size without losing quality. Options A and B describe raster or plug-in-based technologies, and option C is describing something closer to SWF files, which are a completely separate format tied to Adobe Flash.
Brenda K.Jan 13, 2026Quick win, 10 seconds max. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, XML-based, done. Saw this exact wording on my 1D0-520 sitting, grabbed D without blinking, banked the time for the subnet drag-and-drop nightmare later.
Prof. SaraFeb 15, 2026Leaned toward B, but XML in D sealed it for me.
Carlos M.Jan 24, 2026D is correct. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and it uses XML to describe 2D shapes, paths, and text, which means the file is plain text you can open in any editor and it scales without losing quality at any resolution. That rules out A immediately because bitmaps are pixel-based and degrade when scaled. B and C are distractors aimed at confusing SVG with browser plug-in technologies like Flash, but SVG is a W3C standard built into modern browsers natively, no plug-in required.
Nina C.Feb 1, 2026D is the one, SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and it uses XML to describe 2D shapes, paths, and text, which is exactly why it scales cleanly at any resolution without losing quality like a bitmap would.
