Answer:

correct answer is Mercator (cylindrical) projection

In 1569, Flemish geographer and cartographer Mercator first time present Mercator (cylindrical map) projection

and due to its unique property, it represents constant bearing which makes it a standard map projection

and all marine chart also print base on this Mercator (cylindrical) projection because it has a very unique and favourable property for the navigation

and we use it for streets map service

so here correct answer is Mercator (cylindrical) projection
