Question

Which vector data analysis tool combines geometries and attributes from different layers?

• A. Overlay
• B. Map Manipulation
• C. Buffer
• D. Cartesian distance measurement

Hint:

Think: “combine shapes + merge attributes across layers” $⇒$ {Overlay}. “Grow/shrink a shape” $⇒$ Buffer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Overlay (e.g., Intersect, Union, Identity) operates on two or more vector layers, producing output features whose geometries are spatial combinations of inputs and whose attribute tables are merged accordingly. Buffer creates zones around features; Cartesian distance is a measurement; “Map Manipulation” is not a standard vector overlay operator.
