Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding Surveying Types
- Plane Surveying: Assumes the earth is flat, used for small areas. - Compass Surveying: Measures bearings using a compass. - Topographic Surveying: Maps land features. - Geodetic Surveying: Accounts for the curvature of the earth, making it correct.
