The correct answer is A. change the data frame's coordinate system to match the coordinate system of the layer being edited. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.
Question
An AicGIS user is tasked with editing a layer containing a large number of features, using another layer that is in a different coordinate system as reference. The user adds the layers in ArcMap and starts an edit session. A warning message about editing data in a different coordinate system is displayed. What is the most efficient way to edit the data to avoid potential distortion in the data?
Options
- Achange the data frame's coordinate system to match the coordinate system of the layer being edited
- Bproject the reference layer so the coordinate system matches with the one that needs to be edited
- Cgeoreference the reference layer and start a new edit session
- Dcreate a geodatabase topology with the two layers and add a rule so new data always snaps to the
