Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Demographics change when new residents arrive.; (C) A cordon line defines the study area containing TAZs.

Explanation

Population changes can alter a zone’s demographic characteristics(B). The study-area cordon encloses the internal traffic zones(C). Physical barriers can help define boundaries, so A is false. TAZ boundaries serve transport analysis and need not always coincide one-for-one with wards, so D is too restrictive. Select B, C.
