Answer 1

The correct option is C contour

A line on a map joining places of equal elevation is called a contour.

In cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. The contour interval of a contour map is the difference in elevation between successive contour lines.
