In which scenario should projecting on the fly be used?

Projecting on the fly allows multiple datasets with different coordinate systems to be visualized together without permanently altering their coordinate system. This is acceptable during exploratory data analysis for visualization purposes but is not suitable for calculations or precise editing.

Calculating area (Option A) requires data to be in a projected coordinate system to ensure accuracy.

High-accuracy editing (Option C) requires consistent spatial reference to avoid distortions.

Exploratory analysis (Option B) allows temporary projection for initial review.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
