144. Angles to a given pivot station observed from a number of traverse stations when plotted, the lines to the pivot station intersect at a common point
A. angular measurements are correct and not the linear measurements
B. linear measurements are correct and not the angular measurements
C. angular and linear measurements are correct and not the plotting of traverse
