• A. Not applicable
• B. TRUE
• C. FALSE
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

In FME, you can trigger compression by either giving the output path a .zip extension or by choosing the Zip output option in the writer’s settings. Adding .zip to the destination tells the writer to create a ZIP archive containing the produced data, while the Zip output control explicitly enables the same behavior regardless of the file extension. Both approaches result in a compressed output, so the statement is true.
