These are the 3 basic components of Geodetic Control Survey Party EXCEPT.

• A. Project Main Office
• B. Office Operations
• C. Survey Operations
• D. Field Operations

Answer: (C)

In a Geodetic Control Survey Party, the structure is built around three main organizational arms: Project Main Office, which handles overall project management, client coordination, scheduling, and procurement; Office Operations, which covers data handling, calculations, reductions, and record-keeping; and Field Operations, which carries out the actual field measurements, instrument setup, and data collection. These three represent the primary components that organize how the survey is planned, supported, and executed. Survey Operations, while it describes the activities performed during surveying, is not a separate organizational unit in this framework. It’s the work carried out within Field Operations (and related processes) rather than a distinct component, so it’s the one that doesn’t fit as a basic component.
