What feature improves image quality by smoothing internal image edges?

• A. Antialiasing
• B. Anisotropic Filtering
• C. Mipmap Smoothing
• D. Edge Blooming

Answer: (A)

Antialiasing targets jagged lines that appear when a 3D model is rasterized. By sampling multiple subpixels along edges and blending the results, it creates smooth color transitions that reduce the stair-step effect on diagonal and curved boundaries. This directly improves image quality by smoothing these internal edges. The other options affect textures (anisotropic filtering), texture level-of-detail filtering (mipmap smoothing), or add glow around bright areas (edge blooming), and don’t primarily smooth internal image edges.
