If you rename an attribute, the original attribute still exists on the feature.

• A. Always
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (C)

Renaming an attribute changes its key, not duplicating it. Attributes are stored as name–value pairs on a feature, so renaming simply assigns the same value to the new attribute name and removes the old name. The original attribute does not remain after the rename unless you explicitly copy that value to a new attribute before performing the rename. To keep both, you’d first copy the value to another attribute, then rename if needed.
