Final answer:
The scope of the operation for predicting the probability of C. orbiculatus occurrence in each raster cell is local because the prediction is made on a cell-by-cell basis without considering adjacent cells.
Step-by-step explanation:
orbiculatus:
When predicting the probability of C. orbiculatus occurrence in each raster cell, the scope of the operation is local. With respect to geographic data analysis, operations can be categorized based on their spatial scope. A local operation is one that is applied cell by cell, with the result for each cell determined by the value of that cell alone or in combination with purely local information.
In contrast, a neighborhood operation considers the value of a cell and the values of its immediate surroundings, whereas a global operation would take into account the entire dataset. As the prediction for C. orbiculatus occurs on a cell-by-cell basis without considering the surrounding cells (this additional context is not provided in the question prompt), the correct answer is that the scope is local.
