Which of the following statements is true regarding the AIFF format?

The statement about AIFF supporting a wide range of audio sample rates is true. AIFF, which stands for Audio Interchange File Format, is designed to store high-quality audio data and is capable of handling various sample rates, including standard rates like 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, as well as higher rates used in professional audio settings. This flexibility makes it suitable for different applications in music production and audio engineering.

The other statements do not correctly represent the characteristics of the AIFF format. It is not primarily about minimal storage space; instead, AIFF files tend to be larger because they can store uncompressed audio data. While AIFF is not proprietary and can be used on both macOS and Windows platforms, it does not claim exclusivity to any one operating system. Finally, AIFF is not the same as MP3 format; MP3 is a compressed audio format that reduces file size at the expense of some audio quality, while AIFF typically offers uncompressed audio, providing higher fidelity.
