B
BMPs are not compressed; JPEGs and GIFs are compressed.
C
BMPs are raster images; JPEGs and GIFs are vector images.
D
BMPs are typically used for uploading images to the Internet; JPEGs and GIFs are used for printing images.

Explanation

BMP files are commonly stored without compression, so they can be relatively large. JPEGs use lossy compression, and GIFs use lossless compression to reduce file size. Therefore, the primary difference described is that BMPs are not compressed while JPEGs and GIFs are compressed.
