Final answer:
The correct select by attribute query is 'POP' >= 500 AND 'POP' <= 600.option d.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct select by attribute query that can be used in ArcGIS to select only the features in a dataset with a POPULATION value between 500 and 600 is 'POP' >= 500 AND 'POP' <= 600. This query will select features where the POPULATION value is greater than or equal to 500 and less than or equal to 600.
The correct query to select features in a dataset in ArcGIS with a POPULATION value between 500 and 600 is: 'POP' >= 500 AND 'POP' <= 600. This statement ensures that only the features where the POPULATION (abbreviated as 'POP') is greater than or equal to 500 and less than or equal to 600 are selected, which is the definition of the range between these two values.
