Step 1: Concept
Spatial data in GIS is broadly categorized into two primary structures: Vector and Raster models. The spaghetti model is a specific type of vector data structure.
Step 2: Meaning
We need to identify the characteristic that belongs to a different data model, making it false for the spaghetti structure.
Step 3: Analysis
• The spaghetti model is a vector structure where lines are recorded as independent strings of X, Y coordinates without topology (meaning no spatial relationships are stored). This confirms statements A, B, and C are true.
• Dividing the entire area into regular, uniform grids (cells/pixels) is the fundamental definition of the raster data model, not the vector/spaghetti model.
Step 4: Conclusion
Therefore, the statement describing grid division applies to raster data and is false for the spaghetti data structure.
Final Answer: (D)
