The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice "Mercator projection map"
A method of making a flat map of the Earth's surface so that the meridians and parallels appear as straight lines that cross at right angles. In a Mercator projection, the areas farther from the equator appear larger, making the polar regions greatly distorted.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
