What signal distortion results when discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients are truncated during JPEG compression?

A)Increased quantization noise visibility
B)Enhanced colour channel blending
C)Reduced spatial frequency resolution
D)Improved high-frequency detail retention

💡 Explanation

Coefficient truncation removes high-frequency components via quantization because it effectively sets those components towards zero according to the quantization table; therefore increased quantization noise visibility results, rather than more detail, when certain detail frequencies are eliminated.
