17. Which of following statements is false? In ModelBuilder, it in-
dicates the model has
a. TIN files can have a higher resolutionin areas where been executed success-

executed successfully when elements are highlighted
in colours.
c. The geoprocessing workflows saved as a model us-
ing ModelBuilder in ArcGIS are reusable and sharable.
d. Raster files are generally more computationally ef-
ficient to produce sub-products, such as slope and
aspect, than files saved in TIN format.
