The correct answer is B. Vector image. Vector images are defined by mathematical formulas describing shapes, lines, curves, and colors rather than by individual pixels. Because they are resolution-independent, they can be scaled to any size - including 500% - without any loss of quality or pixelation. Raster…

Explanation
Vector images are defined by mathematical formulas describing shapes, lines, curves, and colors rather than by individual pixels. Because they are resolution-independent, they can be scaled to any size - including 500% - without any loss of quality or pixelation. Raster (bitmap) images, by contrast, are made up of a fixed grid of pixels and become blurry or pixelated when enlarged significantly. Metafile formats can contain both raster and vector data, but the key indicator here is zero quality degradation on scaling, which is the defining characteristic of a pure vector image.
