Which statement about resolution is true in the described workflow?

• A. Print artwork is 300 dpi and web artwork is 72 ppi.
• B. Print artwork is 72 ppi and web artwork is 300 dpi.
• C. Print artwork is 300 dpi and web artwork is 300 dpi.
• D. Print artwork is 72 ppi and web artwork is 72 ppi.

Answer: (A)

Resolutions are chosen by output medium: print needs high detail, while web is display-based and can be lower. In this workflow, print artwork is set to 300 dpi to ensure sharp, clean results when printed, and web artwork is set to 72 ppi because screens render images in pixels and this level keeps file sizes reasonable without noticeable loss on standard displays. The other options would either undercut print quality (72 dpi for print), unnecessarily increase web file sizes (300 dpi for web), or produce both with the same lower resolution (72 dpi for both) which would degrade print output.
