What type of data does each pixel in a bitmap image store?

Each pixel in a bitmap image is designed to store binary data that represents the color of that specific pixel. This binary information is used to convey the color, which can be defined using various color models, such as RGB (Red, Green, Blue). In an RGB model, each pixel's color is often represented by a combination of three separate values (one for each primary color), and these values are typically stored in binary format. This allows the computer to interpret and display the correct color when rendering the image on the screen.

The other choices refer to different concepts that do not accurately describe the data stored for each individual pixel in a bitmap. For instance, while black and white images do involve color data, they do not encompass the full color representation available in bitmap images. Numeric data for image resolution pertains to the overall dimensions and clarity of the image rather than pixel-level color information. Metadata refers to additional information about the image file itself, such as creation date or author, rather than the data of each pixel.
