Answer 1

The correct answer is option D, that is, it has a steep incline.

Step-by-step explanation:

A map that is formed of contour lines is considered as a topographic map. The contour lines associate the places of equivalent elevation in a specific area. All the contour line points are at a similar elevation above a mention surface. When contour lines are represented very close to each other, it signifies a region with a very steep incline. This signifies that the topography modifies very sharply within a very brief distance on land. When the contour lines are present far apart from each other, it signifies a very gentle slope that can be demonstrated as a plain.
