Question

without in the four-phase of this concept from the article “what is (gis)?”
(gis) data can be used for complex modeling to answer a wide range of “what if” and scenario simulations. these models can be designed to document the co - occurrence or interrelationship of multiple data layers or they may be designed to simulate hypothetical or natural ecological systems. similarly, modeling with gis can be used to predict the impacts of the one as to the another. for example, wetlands, soils, hydrology, climatology and elevation data can be combined in such a way as to identify the changes in land use within the same system can be modeled to determine the potential impact of development or agriculture. as a result, both natural system responses to these changes as well as the impact of a proposed action can be assessed prior to the proposed action.
a. to warn readers about the hazards of diminishing wetlands
b. to inform readers about the multiple uses of gis
c. to explain the workings of the ecosystem simulations
d. to remind readers about proper use of gis resources

Explanation:

The excerpt details various applications of GIS, including complex modeling, documenting data relationships, simulating ecological systems, predicting impacts of parameter changes, combining data layers to model natural systems, and assessing system responses to events and human activity, all to inform readers of its multiple uses.

Answer:

B. to inform readers about the multiple uses of GIS
