Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R)

Assertion (A) : The database concept is central to a Geographical Information System (GIS)
Reason (R) : GIS does not hold any maps and pictures, it holds only a database.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

A GIS is essentially a Database Management System (DBMS) integrated with spatial rendering capabilities. What we perceive as "maps" are simply visual queries of this spatial database.
