What is the primary difference between vector and raster data in GIS?
A. Vector represents continuous data; raster represents discrete data
B. Vector uses points, lines, polygons; raster uses pixels
C. Vector data is always smaller in size
D. Raster data does not support spatial analysis
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
