Solution

The correct option is C Topography
Topography is the study of the shape and features of land surfaces, such as relief, drainage, and vegetation. A topographical map portrays not just the natural features, but also the man-made features such as roads, railways, settlements, and more. It is a detailed and accurate illustration of features on the ground such as roads, railways, power transmission lines, contours, elevations, rivers, lakes, and geographical names.
