The Mosaic To New Raster tool merges multiple input raster datasets into a single raster dataset in a file-based format. This approach simplifies sharing and analysis because the result is a single raster file rather than a collection of rasters. Since all rasters have the same resolution and dimension, this tool is the most efficient solution for permanent combination.

Mosaic Datasets (Option A) are great for managing large raster collections but remain as collections, not single files.

Publishing tile layers (Option C) is primarily for web sharing, not file-based sharing or analysis.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

—

Export Map under the Share tab provides options to export maps into various formats, including TIFF, PDF, PNG, JPEG, and others. This is the standard workflow for creating a high-quality raster file suitable for sharing and archiving.

Print Map (Option A) is for sending the map directly to a printer.

Capture To Clipboard (Option C) copies the current map extent as an image to the clipboard for temporary use, not for file creation.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

—

The Catalog pane provides access to datasets not yet added to the map. From there, the user can right-click any dataset (including feature classes) and select View Metadata to view or edit metadata, including the thumbnail.

The Contents pane only lists items already in the map.

Catalog View (Option B) works if the dataset is already loaded into that view, but directly using the Catalog pane (Option C) is more efficient here.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

—

The Baseline Aligned dimension tool is used when multiple measurements need to originate from a common baseline. This is exactly the case when measuring multiple crop fields from the same starting location, ensuring consistent and aligned measurements across features.

Simple Aligned creates individual dimension lines between two points but not aligned from a single baseline.

Continue Dimensions adds dimensions that continue from the endpoint of the previous dimension but is not intended for measurements from a common baseline.

Baseline Aligned properly anchors all measurements to the same origin point.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

—

Definition queries limit the dataset used for both display and geoprocessing by applying SQL-based expressions to filter the data. This allows the GIS analyst to restrict all map display, analysis, and processing operations to only the records that meet the defined criteria (city and one-year period).

Display filters only limit what is visually shown but do not impact geoprocessing.

Zooming merely changes the map extent but has no filtering effect on data.

Definition queries fully restrict the dataset for both visualization and processing.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

—

The correct SQL expression should filter parcels that are both in the North region and where the OwnerName field contains 'Jon.' The LIKE operator is appropriate when matching patterns or partial names.

Option A correctly combines both conditions using AND.

Option B would include any parcel in the North region or any parcel where OwnerName contains Jon, which is overly broad.

Option C incorrectly uses exact equality, which would fail to match variations like 'Johnson' or 'Jonas.'

Note: The LIKE expression typically includes wildcard characters (e.g., LIKE '%Jon%') but based on provided options, Option A represents the correct logic.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

—

The asterisk on the Koenker statistic indicates non-stationarity in the data—meaning that relationships vary across space. In such cases, Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) should be run to account for spatial variability and better model local relationships.

Generate Spatial Weights Matrix (Option B) is used for spatial autocorrelation analyses, not regression refinement.

Generalized Linear Regression (Option C) is a global model and does not address non-stationarity.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

The Aspect-Slope function combines slope and aspect information from a DEM to help identify ideal orientations and slope conditions for solar panel placement. Since north-facing panels and flatter slopes are required, this function directly provides both variables together for quick visualization.

Curvature, Slope (Option A) would show slope steepness and surface curvature but not directionality (aspect).

Shaded Relief (Option B) is only for visual hillshading and does not provide aspect or slope data.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

—

Many image services include multiple processing templates that provide different visualizations (e.g., slope, hillshade, aspect). The analyst can switch between these templates within the layer properties to access the various derivative products.

Changing band order (Option A) affects multi-band imagery but won’t expose separate processing templates.

Changing the source (Option C) changes the entire dataset rather than switching between available templates.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Tasks in ArcGIS Pro are specifically designed to guide users through multi-step GIS workflows by packaging step-by-step instructions into a task file. This ensures trainees follow the workflow correctly and in sequence.

Models (Option A) automate geoprocessing but do not guide interactive steps such as zooming, editing, or exporting layouts.

Jupyter Notebooks (Option C) are suitable for scripting but not for guiding new users through step-by-step GUI-based tasks.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
