Question

Which kind of data is mostly used in GIS?

• A. \(\text{Numerical data} \)
• B. \(\text{Binary data} \)
• C. \(\text{Spatial data} \)
• D. \(\text{Boolean data} \)

Hint:

GIS primarily uses Spatial Data, which includes vector (points, lines, polygons) and raster (grids, elevation models) data types.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding GIS data types. - GIS (Geographic Information System) primarily deals with Spatial Data, which includes: - Vector data (points, lines, polygons). - Raster data (grids, images, elevation models).
Step 2: Explanation of incorrect options. - Numerical data a.: Used in GIS but does not define location-based data. - Binary data b.: Used in computing but not specific to GIS. - Boolean data d.: Used for logical operations but not for geospatial representation.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option. Since spatial data represents geographic locations and attributes, the correct answer is c. Spatial data.
