Solution

The correct option is B Terrestrial photography
In aerial photography, machines or drones have cameras attached to them to capture photos from a higher elevation level. The speed and height of the drone can be regulated. However, any photograph that is taken from the earth's surface comes under terrestrial photography. Here, the camera is in a stationary position. The elevation, tilt, and the focal length of the lens can be adjusted. Since Ramesh took his shot from the Earth's surface, his snapshot would come under terrestrial photography.
