Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Raster data is obtained from satellite images, aerial cameras, and scanned maps.
Reason (R): Georeferencing allows you to viewed, query, and analyze raster data with other geographic data.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

Explanation of the Correct Option (c): (A) is true but (R) is false
Why Assertion (A) is TRUE:
· Raster data represents geographic features as a grid of cells or pixels.
· Common sources of raster data include:
· Satellite images (e.g., remote sensing data)
· Aerial photographs captured by cameras
· Scanned maps converted into digital form
· Hence, the assertion correctly describes the sources of raster data.
Why Reason (R) is FALSE:
· Georeferencing is the process of assigning real-world coordinates to raster data.
· It helps in:
· Aligning raster data with other spatial datasets
· Ensuring correct location and scale
· However, the ability to view, query, and analyze raster data is a general function of GIS software, not specifically the definition of georeferencing.
· Therefore, the reason statement is conceptually incorrect.
Explanation of Other Options
Option (a): Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A)
· Incorrect because:
· Although (A) is true, (R) is false.
· Georeferencing does not explain the sources of raster data.
Option (b): Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the explanation
· Incorrect because:
· This option assumes (R) is true, which it is not.
Option (d): (A) is false but (R) is true
· Incorrect because:
· Assertion (A) is factually correct.
· Reason (R) is conceptually incorrect.
Key Points:
· Raster data consists of pixels arranged in rows and columns.
· Major raster data sources include satellite imagery, aerial photos, and scanned maps.
· Georeferencing assigns spatial coordinates to data but does not define data analysis capabilities.
