Solution

The correct option is A Isoseismic line
In seismology, an isoseismal map is used to show lines of equally felt seismic intensity, called Isoseismic lines generally measured on the Modified Mercalli scale. Such maps help to identify earthquake epicenters, particularly where no instrumental records exist, such as for historical earthquakes.
The correct answer is A.
