Answer:

If the contour lines are close together it means that the change in elevation is very steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not correct because if the topography is almost flat, the contour lines would be very far apart.

B is correct because the closer the contour lines are, the steeper the topography is, meaning that the terrain is very steep.

C is not correct because if the elevation is not changing, the contour lines will be missing from that part of the map.
