The Triangulation Station Balanacan located in Marinduque Province is associated with which datum?

Triangulation stations are tied to a specific horizontal datum that defines the reference framework for the network. The Triangulation Station Balanacan in Marinduque is part of the Luzon-based survey network originally defined by Luzon Datum 1911, which served as the Philippine horizontal reference for many decades. The other options refer to different concepts: the Philippine Geoid Model is about vertical height conversions, not the horizontal reference; World Geodetic System 1984 is a global standard not unique to the Philippine network; and the Philippine Reference System of 1992 is a later datum that replaced the older LD 1911. Therefore, the station is associated with Luzon Datum 1911.
