Solution

The correct option is A representative fraction

A representative fraction (RF) is the ratio of distance on the map to distance on the ground. For example, if a map uses a scale, wherein 1 cm on the map is equivalent to 55 km on the ground, then, such a scale would be called a representative fraction or RF.
