Solution

The correct option is D (1), (2), (3), and (4)
A topographical map portrays not just the natural features, but also man-made features such as roads, railways, settlements, and more. A topographical map is a detailed and accurate illustration of man-made and natural features on the ground such as roads, railways, contours, and elevation, among other things.

Countries produce official topographical maps called topographical survey sheets or toposheets. They show us where the hills are, and how high they are. They also show the distance between two points on the ground.

Topographical sheets are large scale maps that are usually prepared by the central governments of countries. In India, the responsibility of producing toposheets was taken up by the Survey of India, the national survey and mapping organisation of the country.
