Which dialog syntax would you use to set the output raster cell size using the smallest cell size of all input datasets?

1. Minimum Of Inputs

2. Smallest Cell Size

3. Cell Size Determined Automatically

4. Input Cell Size

The correct answer is: Minimum Of Inputs

The correct choice for setting the output raster cell size to match the smallest cell size of all input datasets is to select "Minimum Of Inputs." This option explicitly indicates that the output raster's cell size will be determined by selecting the minimum value among all the input datasets. Using this approach ensures that the output resolution meets the highest level of precision available from the input data, avoiding any potential loss of detail. In raster processing, matching the cell size of the output to the smallest input cell size is important for maintaining fidelity in the analysis and preserving important spatial information. When the output raster inherits the smallest cell size, it ensures that all input data can be accurately represented in the resultant dataset without introducing artifacts that may occur from using a larger cell size. Other options do not specifically convey the same aspect of determining the output based on the input data properties. "Smallest Cell Size," for example, might suggest a method but lacks the clarity of the dialog's operational logic. "Cell Size Determined Automatically" suggests a more generic method that may not guarantee the selection of the minimum cell size, and "Input Cell Size" could imply that only one input’s characteristics are considered, which does not address the scenario of multiple inputs.
