The largest known galaxy is elliptical
B.) A giant elliptical galaxy
Large Spiral Galaxy. This is because they contain more of the OB stars that are required for a supernova event. Elliptical galaxies tend to be older and have more low mass stars and are not as common as spiral galaxies. See Link for more information
It doesn't really work that way. The types aren't exactly related to size, but rather to shapes. Dwarf galaxies of course are the smallest; but other than that, a spiral galaxy can come in different sizes; so can an irregular galaxy or an elliptical galaxy.
Messier 32 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy about 2.65 million light years away in the constellation AndromedaMaffei 1 is a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation about 10 billion light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is the closest giant elliptical galaxy to the Milky Way

An elliptical galaxy is a galaxy having an approximately ellipsoidal shape and a smooth, nearly featureless brightness profile. The galaxies range in shape from nearly spherical to highly flattened and have hundreds of millions to over one trillion stars.See link for more information
the elliptical galaxy has a round or oval shape the spiral galaxy has a hurricane shape The origin of these different shapes would lie in the particular momentum of the constituent stars at the time they first coalesced into a galaxy under their mutual gravitational attraction.
Galaxy sizes range from smallest to largest in the following order: dwarf galaxies, spiral galaxies (such as the Milky Way), elliptical galaxies, and finally, giant elliptical galaxies. It is important to note that this is a general categorization and there is variation in sizes within each galaxy type.
Not just dwarf galaxies. Giant elliptical galaxies lie likely the result of many galaxies, small and large, merging.

Some non-examples is the Big Dipper, Small Dipper and cigars.
