Which of the following are the characteristics of mind mapping?

1.Built around a central topic.

2.Use of long sentences and paragraphs to explain the content.

3.The branches of a particular topic form a connected nodal structure.

4.Use of images and symbols to represent ideas.

A1 only

B2 & 4 only

C1, 3 & 4 only ✓ Correct

D2 & 3 only

Correct answer: (C) 1, 3 & 4 only

Explanation

A mind map grows outward from a single central topic placed at its middle, matching Statement 1.

Its branches spread into linked nodes that form a connected structure, as Statement 3 states.

Images, colours and symbols stand in for ideas on a mind map, which is Statement 4.

Statement 2 is wrong because a mind map uses short keywords, not long sentences and paragraphs.

Lengthy prose would defeat the quick, visual nature of the technique.

Radiating branches help show how sub-ideas relate to the main theme at a glance.
