Answer 2

Answer: Index contour.

Explanation: Index contours are those elevation line which are represented by a thick or darker line. It is because if we draw every elevation with a simple line, its not so reliable. So making every fifth contour line dark helps us in reading the map elevation clearly without any difficulties.
