Question

C. use the Repair Data Sources geoprocessing tool
D. use the Set Data Source option from Layer

Answer 1

To repair broken data sources in ArcMap, you can right-click the layer in the Table of Contents to 'Repair Data Source' or use the 'Set Data Source' option in the Layer properties.

Step-by-step explanation:

To repair file with broken data sources in ArcMap, two actions that can be taken are:

• Right-click the layer(s) in the Table of Contents and select 'Repair Data Source'. This action allows you to browse to the new location of the missing data source and reconnect it to the layer.
• Use the 'Set Data Source' option from Layer properties. By opening the properties of the layer with the broken link, you can navigate to the 'Source' tab and set the new data source path for the layer.

While option B suggests repairing the layer sources in the Map Document Properties, and C refers to a non-existent 'Repair Data Sources geoprocessing tool', neither of these are standard methods for repairing broken data sources in ArcMap.
