Which of the following is true about thin-plate splines for spatial interpolation?
A) All of these are correct
B) Both the thin-plate splines method produces a minimum-curvature surface and and smooth isolines.
C) The thin-plate splines method tends to produce steep gradients (overshoots) in data-poor areas.
D) The thin-plate splines method produces a minimum-curvature surface.
E) The thin-plate splines method produces smooth isolines.

Thin-plate splines are known for producing a minimum-curvature surface, which results in smooth isolines. They do not typically produce steep gradients in data-poor areas, making all the positive statements about them correct.
