Solution
The correct option is D Isotherm
Isopleth is an imaginary line that joins places recording equal values of a variable. Some frequently used isopleths include isotherm, isobar, and isohyets. Isotherms help to visualise and interpret the horizontal temperature distribution of an area. They show the patterns of temperature on a weather or oceanography map. The relative spacing of the isotherms indicates the temperature gradient. The gradient is larger where the isotherms are closer.
