A map uses a red cross for a hospital, but the legend defines the same symbol as danger. What is the root cause of viewer confusion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Conflict between symbol and legend

The governing concept is semantic consistency in visual communication. A map symbol communicates correctly only when its appearance and the legend assign it the same meaning. Here, the red cross suggests a hospital to one reader but danger according to the legend, so the viewer receives conflicting instructions. Size, white space, and brightness may affect visibility, but they do not create this meaning conflict. Hence, option A is correct.
