Which category of computer data typically consumes the most memory?

Graphics typically consume the most memory because they are composed of many individual pixels, each requiring data to define its color and intensity. High-resolution images or complex 3D models contain vast amounts of pixel data, leading to significant memory usage.

• "Text" (A) and "Numbers" (B) are represented by character codes (e.g., ASCII, Unicode) or numerical formats, which are very compact.
• "Symbols" (D) are also character-based and require minimal memory, similar to text. The complexity and detail of graphical data far exceed that of simple textual or numerical representations.
