Correct Answer
B. TablesExplanation
GIS, or Geographic Information System, is a powerful tool that can be used to visualize various types of data and information related to geographic locations. However, tables, which are structured data presented in rows and columns, cannot be directly visualized using GIS. While GIS can analyze and interpret the data within tables, it typically requires additional software or tools to present tabular data in a visual format. Therefore, GIS is not designed to directly visualize tables.Rate this question:
