Answer:- B) Population Density
Dasymetric map is a type of thematic map that uses color or shading to represent data within geographic areas, but it goes a step further than a choropleth map by trying to represent data more accurately by differentiating between areas that can and cannot contain the data being mapped. This means dasymetric maps often eliminate areas that should not be colored, providing a more precise visualization of the data’s distribution.
Example:
Imagine you’re creating a map of population density in a city. A choropleth map might show the population density for each county or district. A dasymetric map, however, would go further. It might use different shades of color to represent population density within each area, but it could also eliminate or reduce the shading in areas that are clearly uninhabitable, such as large bodies of water, parks, or undeveloped areas.
