Solution

The correct option is B Contouring
  • Contouring is the most widely used method to show the relief on the map.
  • In this method, contour lines are drawn by joining the places of a specific height.
  • When there is less distance between the contour lines, the slope is steep and when the distance between the contour lines is great, the slope is gentle.
