As a map reader, when you encounter choropleth maps or proportional symbols maps in which numerical data have been grouped into categories with specific ranges of data, why do you need to be cautious in your interpretation of the map?

A) If the map has been classified using the quantiles method, extreme values (outliers) are likely to be hidden, making these extremes appear to not differ from other values.
B) If the map has been classified using equal intervals, many locations may be lumped into the same category and look identical on the map, hiding what may be distinct differences among places.
C) If you cannot tell which classification method was used, there is a possibility that the map maker has selected category ranges specifically to make the map appear to depict spatial patterns favored by the map makers when there are really no patterns in the data.
D) All of the above.

that the claims meet official rules.

don't misinterpret the claims

chemical energy --> gravitational potential energy --> kinetic energy --> elastic potential energy --> gravitational potential energy

explanation:

when emma starts the hike, the chemical energy stored in her body is used to climb up the mountain, and so she gains gravitational potential energy (because at the end, she will be at a higher height h above the ground). then she goes bungee jumping: as she falls, this gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (because her speed increases as she falls down), until the point when the rope stretches, and she stops moving. at that moment, all the kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy due to the stretching of the rope. then, this energy is released because the rope returns to its natural length, and emma gains a small increase in altitude , so she gains some gravitational potential energy.
