Solution

The correct option is B Relief
The difference in height between a high point and a low point on earth’s surface is called relief. Relief features are represented on toposheets by drawing contour lines. A contour line is an imaginary line joining places that have the same height above sea level and this method of representing height on the map using contours is called contouring.
