Question
Run-length encoding (RLE) is a data compression technique that replaces "runs" (sequences of bits with the same value) with a number representing the length of the run.
RLE can be used to compress color images, especially when the colors are from a limited palette.
The following is a run-length encoding of an 8x8 icon with 3 colors. "R" signifies a red run, "G" signifies a green run, and "Y" signifies a yellow run.
3Y,2R,3Y
2Y,1R,2G,1R,2Y
1Y,1R,4G,1R,1Y
1R,6G,1R
1R,6G,1R
1Y,1R,4G,1R,1Y
2Y,1R,2G,1R,2Y
3Y,2R,3Y

To interpret the run-length encoded (RLE) data into an 8x8 icon, let's break down each line of the RLE representation.
The RLE format specifies runs of colors, with the format being `<count><color>` where:
- `Y` = Yellow
- `R` = Red
- `G` = Green
Let's lay it out according to the RLE provided:
1. `3Y,2R,3Y` translates to:
```
Y Y Y R R Y Y Y
```
2. `2Y,1R,2G,1R,2Y` translates to:
```
Y Y R G G R Y Y
```
3. `1Y,1R,4G,1R,1Y` translates to:
```
Y R G G G G R Y
```
4. `1R,6G,1R` translates to:
```
R G G G G G R
```
5. `1R,6G,1R` again translates to:
```
R G G G G G R
```
6. `1Y,1R,4G,1R,1Y` translates to:
```
Y R G G G G R Y
```
7. `2Y,1R,2G,1R,2Y` translates to:
```
Y Y R G G R Y Y
```
8. `3Y,2R,3Y` again translates to:
```
Y Y Y R R Y Y Y
```
Now, let's assemble these lines into an 8x8 grid (connected line by line):
```
Y Y Y R R Y Y Y
Y Y R G G R Y Y
Y R G G G G R Y
R G G G G G R
R G G G G G R
Y R G G G G R Y
Y Y R G G R Y Y
Y Y Y R R Y Y Y
```
When visualizing these colors on a typical display, the pattern suggests that we have a green shape (likely a square or similar) with a red outline on a yellow background.
- The outermost layer (rows 1 and 8, and the outlines in rows 2 and 7) appears primarily yellow.
- The next layer (rows 3-6) contains primarily green with red outlines.
Among the choices provided, the description that most accurately fits the pattern is:
**Choice A: A green square with a red outline on a yellow background.**
Thus the answer is:
**(Choice A)** A green square with a red outline on a yellow background.
