Explanation

A Full backup copies every file and folder in the selected scope, regardless of whether it has changed since the last backup. It is the only backup type that guarantees a complete, self-contained snapshot of all data at a single point in time. A Differential backup copies only data changed since the last Full backup, and an Incremental backup copies only data changed since the last backup of any type - both require the Full backup as a foundation for a complete restore. 'Daily' is not a standard backup type; it describes scheduling frequency, not completeness.
