How does compression affect resource utilization?

The correct answer is C. Reduces the amount of disk but increases CPU utilization for loading. Compression is useful because it helps reduce the consumption of resources such as data space or transmission capacity. Because compressed data must be decompressed to be used, this extra processing imposes computational or other costs through decompression.
