-
A.
ReadableStream
ReadableStream is a web platform interface representing a source of streaming data that can be read incrementally, commonly used for handling network responses and other asynchronous data flows in JavaScript.
-
B.
TransformStream
TransformStream is a web streams API interface that enables transforming data chunks passing through a readable–writable stream pair, such as for compression, encryption, or format conversion in streaming workflows.
-
C.
System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream
System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream is a .NET stream class used to compress and decompress data using the Deflate algorithm.
-
D.
ReadableByteStreamController
ReadableByteStreamController is a Web Streams API interface that manages the internal state and data flow of a readable byte stream, including queuing, backpressure, and pulling data from an underlying source.
-
E.
Display Stream Compression
Display Stream Compression is a visually lossless compression standard used in modern display interfaces to transmit high-resolution, high-refresh-rate video over limited-bandwidth links.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: DecompressionStream Description of subject: DecompressionStream is a web API interface that provides a readable stream for decompressing data compressed with formats like gzip or deflate, typically used in conjunction with TransformStream for streaming transformations.
