Answer:

A. Elevation

Step-by-step explanation:

longitude = map lines that are vertical

Altitude = Think planes how high from the ground something is (Elevation is also accounted for)

The scale = a measureing device that is used to find the weight of things.

therefore the best answer is:

A. Elvation - The heights above or below something most especially the sea (sea level)

Hoped this helped :)

Elevation is the measurement used on the sea level to ground level

while altitude is measured the distance from sea level to air level

So if your standing on ground that would be elevation while if your in a plain that would be altitude

So the answer to your questions would be
A.Elevation
