Correct option is C
The principle of
"working from whole to part" is a fundamental concept in surveying to minimize errors. It involves starting with a framework of large, accurate control points (whole) and then working towards smaller details (part).
Analysis of Options:
(a) Traversing:
Involves creating a network of connected lines.
It adheres to the principle as the main control framework is established first.
(b) Triangulation:
This method uses a network of triangles to control the survey.
It follows the principle by establishing larger triangles first and then subdividing them.
(c) Plane table:
This is a graphical method where details are plotted directly in the field without first establishing a comprehensive control framework.
It does
not strictly adhere to the principle of working from whole to part.
(d) Tacheometry:
A method of rapid surveying that often works within a controlled framework.
It adheres to the principle when the framework is set up first.
