Solution

The correct option is A Mountainous area
The most common method of representing the topography of a particular area is to use contour lines.

The contour interval of a map is the vertical distance between the contour lines. The interval is determined by the purpose of the map and by the terrain being mapped.
A sufficient number of contour lines are numbered so that there is no confusion regarding the elevation of a particular contour.
If the value varies between 200 to 1000 metre, it depicts a mountainous area.
For the plateau and plain land, these value are very low compared to mountains.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
