- C.

Correct Answer
D. Dots per inchExplanation
DPI stands for "dots per inch". This term is commonly used to measure the resolution of an image or the printing quality. It refers to the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within a one-inch span. A higher DPI value indicates a higher image resolution and better print quality, as more dots are packed into each inch.Rate this question:

What resolution should an image be if we are putting on a website?
- A.
200 dpi
- B.
100 dpi
- C.
92 dpi
- D.
72 dpi
- E.
112 dpi
Correct Answer
D. 72 dpiExplanation
The resolution of an image that should be used for a website is typically 72 dpi. This is because computer screens display images at a standard resolution of 72 dots per inch, so using a higher resolution would not improve the quality of the image on the website. Additionally, using a lower resolution may result in a blurry or pixelated image. Therefore, 72 dpi is the most appropriate resolution for images on a website.Rate this question:
