B Correct answer
Explanation

Deep Zoom in Silverlight uses multi-resolution image pyramids (256x256 tiles) for performance, enabling fast initial load and smooth animations. Statement B claims Deep Zoom takes more time to load initially for large images, which contradicts the core purpose of Deep Zoom - it's specifically designed to load quickly by only loading necessary tiles at the current zoom level, not the entire large image.
