Solution

The correct option is D Cylindrical projection
When the graticule is prepared by imagining the surface of a globe projected on the surface of a hollow cylinder, it is called Cylindrical Projection. When the cylinder is unfolded into a flat surface, it gives a rectangular shape to the globe in which the meridians and parallels are represented as straight lines, intersecting each other at right angles.
