Which operation produces only features that lie inside a polygon's boundary?

• A. Clipper
• B. Dissolver
• C. Bufferer
• D. Aggregator

Answer: (A)

Clipping trims input features to the boundary of a polygon, keeping only the parts that lie inside. It computes the intersection between each input feature and the clipping polygon, so the output geometry is the portion that falls within the polygon. Any portion outside the boundary is removed, and features with no intersection are omitted. This direct inside-boundary trimming is why clipping is the operation that yields only features inside the polygon. Dissolving merges features across boundaries, not restricting them to stay inside a particular polygon. Buffering creates a zone around features that can extend beyond the boundary, and aggregating groups features for summaries without cutting to the boundary.
