What is the difference betweeen Lossy and Lossless data compression?
Lossless data compression uses data compression algorithms which allow the exact original data to be recreated from the compressed data, where as Lossy data retrieves data that may be different form the original one but it is still 'close enough' which is useful in some way.

Which method offers the greatest compression ratio?
Lossless because through that method, none of the information is lost it compresses the exact data.
