Which of the following statements is/are correct? a) The larger the scale of the map, the larger the area it covers. b) The larger the scale of the map, the more generalised the data it portrays. c) The smaller the scale of the map, the larger the area

The correct statements can be evaluated as follows: a) The larger the scale of the map, the larger the area it covers. **Incorrect**. A larger scale (like 1:10,000) shows a smaller area in more detail, while a smaller scale (like 1:1,000,000) covers a larger area with less detail. b) The larger the scale of the map, the more generalised the data it portrays. **Incorrect**. A larger scale map shows more detailed and specific data, not generalized data. c) The smaller the scale of the map, the larger the area it covers. **Correct**. A smaller scale map (like 1:1,000,000) covers a larger geographical area, but it is less detailed. d) The smaller the scale of the map, the more accurately its content can be displayed. **Incorrect**. A smaller scale map does not display content more accurately; it generally provides less detail. Based on this evaluation, the only correct statement is c. Therefore, the answer is: **A. c only**.
