The process of determining the location of the station (on the map) occupied by the plane table is :

  • A.Traversing
  • B.Intersection
  • C.Two-point Problem
  • D.Resection

Answer: D

The process is resection.

In plane tabling, resection locates on the sheet the point where the table is actually standing, by sighting known points already plotted and drawing back rays through them. The two-point and three-point problems are particular methods of resection.

Intersection does the opposite: it fixes the position of a distant, unvisited point from two known stations. Traversing runs a series of connected lines through stations. The two-point problem is one way of solving a resection, not the general name of the process.
