The phone can represent the photo in either digital or analog formats depending on the sampling technique that is used

The correct option is;

B. The photo is a digital representation of the analog painting

Explanation:

The forming of a encoded digital representation of the an object's physically as visually or observed characteristics is known as digital imaging such that there is an implied application of digital processing to the (otherwise analogue) image such as printing, display, storage, or compression of the original image.

With a digital image, copies can be made of the captured image an infinite amount of time while still maintaining the quality of the original copied image.

A painting made by the use of pencils, paints, canvases, and films is known as an analog art or painting.
