Solution
The correct option is A grid A grid is a network of a series of vertical and horizontal lines constructed perpendicular to each other. One series of lines runs from east to west and the other from north to south. Together they form squares of the same dimensions within a given map. Each of the lines forming the squares is given a value so that the position of an object on a map can be easily identified.
