Solution

The correct option is D 6-figure grid reference
When maps are made on a large scale, the 4 grid reference will tell us the location of the whole area in one square box. Using a 4 figure grid reference, we can tell the location of features like lakes and villages. Therefore locating a monument or temple will not be possible. To locate things more precisely the 6 figure grid reference is used.
