A halo or mask placed behind map lettering serves to

  • A.mark the name as provisional or disputed
  • B.show that the feature lies below sea level
  • C.separate the name from busy detail beneath
  • D.indicate that the position is approximate

Answer: C

A thin band of the background colour interrupts contours and hatching so the letters remain legible. It is a legibility device only and carries no meaning at all about the feature it names, which is why it is kept as unobtrusive as the background allows.
