Answer:

correct answer is Mercator (cylindrical) projection

Step-by-step explanation:

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
