An organization that manages vector data as shapefiles wants to use topology rules for editing data.
What should be the initial steps to implement topology?
A.
In the Catalog pane, right-click the file folder that the shapefile resides in > Point to New > Topology
B.
Open the Create Topology geoprocessing tool > For Input Feature Dataset, select the file folder that the shapefile resides in > Name the topology and run tool
C.
Convert the shapefile to a geodatabase feature class in a feature dataset > Right-click the feature dataset > Point to New > Topology
Topology in ArcGIS Pro requires a geodatabase feature dataset. Shapefiles do not support topology directly. Therefore, the shapefile must first be converted to a feature class within a feature dataset in a geodatabase. Topology can then be created and applied.
Options A and B are incorrect because topology cannot be applied directly to file folders or shapefiles.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
