  1. Georeferencing

  2. Reprojection

  3. Transformation

  4. Digitizing


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Reprojection is the process of converting geographic data from one coordinate system to another.

Which of the following is NOT a type of geospatial data?

  1. Vector data

  2. Raster data

  3. Attribute data

  4. GPS data


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
