A remote climate research outpost in the Arctic compiles daily atmospheric datasets and high-resolution thermal images. Due to extreme conditions, they must transmit this data back to a central university server using a costly satellite connection with limited bandwidth.

The researchers decide to compress all data files before transmission.

Identify two benefits of compressing these files from the options below:

A: It encrypts the research data to prevent interception by unauthorized third parties. B: It decreases the transmission time and bandwidth required to upload the daily telemetry. C: It reduces the storage capacity needed to archive the data on both the local outpost drives and the university server. D: It reduces the battery and CPU processing power required by the outpost transmitter during transmission. E: It automatically identifies and repairs corrupted data packets caused by atmospheric interference.
