Which feature is indicated by symbols for paved landing strips, runways, taxiways, or aprons?

• A. Airport
• B. Unpaved landing strip
• C. Well (other than water); Windmill or wind generator
• D. Tank

Answer: (A)

Paved landing strips, runways, taxiways, and aprons are specific components of an airport. A runway provides the surface for aircraft to take off and land, taxiways guide aircraft between the runway and parking or terminal areas, and aprons are the paved zones where aircraft park, load, and unload. When a map shows symbols for all these features together, it signals an airport—the place designed for air travel and aircraft operations. The other options describe facilities that don’t encompass this combination of aircraft movement and parking infrastructure, so they don’t fit as well.
