⭕ (a) Chain surveying

⭕ (b) Compass surveying

⭕ (c) Auto Level surveying

⭕ (d) Total station surveying

Explanation: A Total Station is an advanced surveying instrument that combines an electronic theodolite and an electronic distance meter (EDM). It enables measurement of horizontal and vertical angles, slope distances, and provides precise values of northing, easting, and elevation — making it a complete tool for coordinate-based surveying.

Northing, easting and elevation are obtained in

Modern surveying demands accurate positioning of points in three dimensions: horizontal coordinates (northing and easting) and vertical level (elevation). Among various types of surveying instruments, the Total Station is capable of providing all three measurements efficiently and accurately.

Key Features of Total Station:

• Combines theodolite and EDM
• Measures horizontal and vertical angles
• Calculates sloping distance, northing, easting, and elevation
• Essential for precise topographical and engineering surveys

Conclusion:

The correct answer is (d) Total station surveying.
