Correct answer: C
Concept
Mind maps organize information radially around one central idea. Major ideas branch from the center, related sub-ideas form a connected nodal hierarchy, and concise keywords, images, and symbols carry meaning; long prose is not the usual representation.
Application
Statement A describes the central topic that anchors the map.
Statement B describes linear note-taking. Mind maps normally compress ideas into keywords or short phrases instead of long sentences and paragraphs.
Statement C describes the connected nodal structure formed by main branches and sub-branches.
Statement D describes the visual encoding provided by images and symbols.
Therefore, the applicable statements are A, C and D only.
Contrast
A only omits the connected branches and visual encoding.
B and D only includes paragraph-style exposition and omits the central anchor and connected branch structure.
A, C and D only contains the central, structural and visual elements while excluding paragraph-style exposition.
B and C only includes paragraph-style exposition and omits the central anchor and visual encoding.
