Solution

The correct option is B Mountainous area
A contour line is drawn to show places of equal heights.

Contour lines and their shapes represent the height and slope or gradient of the land form.

Closely spaced contours represent steep slopes while widely spaced contours represent gentle slope.

If the contours are larger in number, closer together and their value exceeds 1000 mts, then it represents a mountain or mountainous region.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
