Computer aided drafting and design (CADD)
Geographic information systems (GIS)
Global Positioning System (GPS)
4G Mobile telephones

Explanation

Answer: B - The development of GIS has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of land development site analysis. Endless amounts of geospatially referenced information can be incorporated into a GIS, including geomorphic features, soils, floodplains, wetland areas, threatened and endangered species habitats, areas served by water and sewerage agencies, and feasible areas for onsite wastewater disposal systems. GIS mapping can produce the exhibits needed to identify geometric and physical constraints of potential development sites.
