When you have selected features in a map layer and want to create a new dataset containing only those selected features, the proper workflow is to right-click the layer in the Contents pane, go to Data > Export Features. This process honors the current selection set and creates a new feature class based on that selection.

The Catalog pane (Options A and C) exports entire datasets and doesn’t apply the selection set directly.

Export Features (Option B) directly works with selected features and generates a new dataset from them.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

The Mosaic To New Raster tool merges multiple input raster datasets into a single raster dataset in a file-based format. This approach simplifies sharing and analysis because the result is a single raster file rather than a collection of rasters. Since all rasters have the same resolution and dimension, this tool is the most efficient solution for permanent combination.

Mosaic Datasets (Option A) are great for managing large raster collections but remain as collections, not single files.

Publishing tile layers (Option C) is primarily for web sharing, not file-based sharing or analysis.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Symbol scale determines the size of points when displayed. When LAS points appear too large, decreasing the symbol scale (making symbols smaller) will reduce the visual footprint of each point and prevent them from obscuring underlying map content.

Increasing point density (Option A) adds more points but doesn't reduce size.

Decreasing display limit (Option B) reduces how many points are drawn but does not solve the issue of size.

Decreasing symbol scale directly reduces the size of each point.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Web feature layers support both visualization and editing (including field collection). They allow field crews to update, add, or inspect asset information in real-time or while working offline.

Web tile layer (Option B) and Vector tile layer (Option C) support visualization only and do not support editing or inspection of feature attributes.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

—

Enable Sync allows offline editing by field crews. Setting the editing options to allow editors to update feature attributes only ensures that field staff can modify existing records but not delete them. This configuration supports disconnected editing while preserving data integrity.

Export Data (Option B) enables data export but does not support offline sync editing workflows.

Add features only (Option C) would prevent the crews from updating existing features, which is part of their task.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

—

Topology in ArcGIS Pro requires a geodatabase feature dataset. Shapefiles do not support topology directly. Therefore, the shapefile must first be converted to a feature class within a feature dataset in a geodatabase. Topology can then be created and applied.

Options A and B are incorrect because topology cannot be applied directly to file folders or shapefiles.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

The extremely large and small values (3.48e+38 and 3.48e-38) indicate that valid statistics (min and max values) have not been calculated for the mosaic dataset. Without statistics, ArcGIS assigns default extreme placeholder values. Running the “Build Statistics” tool will calculate the correct min and max elevation values.

Color balance (Option A) affects display but not data statistics.

Overviews (Option C) improve display performance but do not affect statistics calculation.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

—

A map frame is a container in the layout that displays any map or scene. To add a second map for additional context, the cartographer should insert a new map frame and choose which map it will display. This allows multiple maps to be shown together on the same layout.

Map view (Option B) refers to a separate view in the interface, not to the printed layout.

New layout (Option C) creates an entirely separate layout rather than adding to the current one.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.

—

The Page Name dynamic text tag references the current index feature’s value (such as the feature name field) when creating a spatial map series. This allows the title to update automatically based on the feature used for each map sheet.

Layout Name (Option A) references the name of the layout itself.

Map Name (Option C) references the map's name, not the page name from the map series.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
