The correct answer is: Geographic Information Systems

GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems. This refers to a computer system for capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying spatial or geographical data. Option A, Global Information System, is incorrect because it does not specifically refer to spatial or geographical data. Option C, Geographic Imaging Solutions, may sound similar to GIS but does not fully encompass all the capabilities of a GIS. Option D, Geographic International Software, is incorrect because it does not properly describe the function of a GIS.
