What type of label would be used as an all-purpose label to show offset and elevation on a section view?

• A. Section View Label
• B. Offset Label
• C. Elevation Label
• D. Plan Label

Answer: (A)

In a section view, you want an annotation that can carry multiple measurements tied to that view. A Section View Label is designed for this context, and it can display both the offset (horizontal distance from a reference line) and the elevation (vertical height) at a point in the section. Its purpose is to annotate a section with key spatial data in one mark, making it the most versatile option for showing offset and elevation together.

Other labels are more specialized: an Offset Label shows only the horizontal distance, an Elevation Label shows only the height, and a Plan Label is meant for plan-view annotations. So the Section View Label best fits the need to convey both offset and elevation in a single, all-purpose section annotation.
