The correct answer is B. The new dataset is assigned to the wrong projected coordinate system. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.
Question
An ArcGIS user is analyzing a map containing several high quality data layers. The layers are defined in several different coordinate systems in the same data frame. However, due to the high quality of the data, all features line up with each other almost exactly. When the user adds a new dataset all features appear to shift to the north by a nearly identical distance. The new dataset is assigned to a different coordinate system than any of the layers that line up correctly. What are two possible reasons for the features shifting? (Choose two) Esri EADA10 Exam
Options
- AArcMap's on-the-fly projection is introducing random error in the new dataset
- BThe new dataset is assigned to the wrong projected coordinate system
- CThe wrong geographic transformation is used to protect the new dataset
- DThe new datasets geometry is more accurate than the other layers in the map
- EThe map projection required to project the new dataset is outdated
