Identify the correct statements about scale and representation of information on maps:
(A) Increasing the size of the denominator of R.F. means making each detail smaller and less exact on a map.
(B) A map always gives every detail to scale.
(C) As more area is covered by the same size map, exactness of delineation increases and more details can be shown.
(D) All maps give areas covered by spatially distributed details to the scale shown within the scope of each map unit.
