The correct answer is B. open an update cursor on the input layer and make in_memory feature classes for each feature. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.

Question

An ArcGIS user is writing a Python script that will update the geometry of all the features of an input layer using a process that requires system tools to examine the geometric properties of each feature. Which approach should be used to evaluate each feature's geometry and pass it to a system tool?

Options

  • Amake feature layers from a selection o' each input geometry that can be used as system tool inputs
  • Bopen an update cursor on the input layer and make in_memory feature classes for each feature
  • Copen an update cursor on the input layer and read its shapes as geometry objects that can be
  • Dexport input feature geometries to OGC WKT (OpenGIS Well Known Text) values in a spatial
