What type of representation is a bitmap image?

  1. Vector

  2. Pixel

  3. Text

  4. Animation

The correct answer is: Pixel

A bitmap image is made up of a grid of tiny square shaped pixels, each with its own unique color value. This means that there is a direct correspondence between the bitmap image and the individual pixels that make it up. This makes the image very easy to manipulate and edit, but also means that the image can appear pixelated and lose quality when enlarged. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the basic structure and characteristics of a bitmap image, which is made up of pixels rather than lines, text, or animation.
