Anil has an MP3 file stored on his computer. Which type of data is stored in an MP3 file?

AVideo

BSound ✓ Correct

CImage

DText

Correct answer: (B) Sound

Explanation

An MP3 file stores sound, being a compressed digital audio format for music and speech.

Video needs formats like MP4 or AVI, which carry moving images, not MP3.

Images use formats such as JPEG or PNG, not the MP3 container.

Plain text is held in formats like TXT, quite unlike an audio file.

MP3 compression removes sounds the ear is least likely to notice.

This lossy compression keeps files small while sound stays acceptable.
