The redundancy in images stems from :

The correct answer is

pixel correlation

Image compression exploits redundancy, which mainly arises because neighbouring pixel values are highly correlated, spatially and across frames.

This inter-pixel (spatial and temporal) correlation means a pixel can be largely predicted from its neighbours, so storing every value independently is wasteful.

Decorrelation is what compression transforms try to achieve to remove redundancy, quantization is a lossy step, and image size does not by itself create redundancy.

So redundancy in images stems from pixel correlation.

Hence, pixel correlation.
