The correct option is C Spatial Data

A Geographic Information system combines computer-drawn maps with a database management system. GIS consists of three subsystems:

(1) an input system that allows for the collected data to be used and analyzed for some purpose.

(2) computer hardware and software systems that store the data, allow for data management and analysis and can be used to display products of data manipulation on a computer monitor.

(3) an output system that generates a hard copy of maps, images, and other types of output.
