Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Sampling Sampling is the process of taking measurements of the amplitude of a continuous waveform at regular time intervals. Each measured value (sample) can then be quantized to discrete levels and encoded as a binary number to produce a digital representation of the original signal. Sampling rate: determines how often snapshots are taken (higher rates capture more detail).
