A
Raster and Vector
💡 Explanation:
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) uses two fundamental data types: Raster data (grid-based, like satellite imagery) and Vector data (coordinate-based, representing points, lines, and polygons). Remote Sensing is a data collection method that produces raster data, not a data type itself. Buffering is an analysis operation, not a data type.
