A series of straight, parallel and equally spaced contours represent a?

  • A.Plane surface
  • B.Hilly top
  • C.Depression
  • D.None of these

Answer: A

Straight, parallel and equally spaced contours represent a plane surface.

Contour spacing shows slope: equal spacing means a uniform slope, and straight parallel lines mean the surface does not bend. Together they describe an inclined plane, a surface of uniform gradient. (Contours on a level plane would not appear at all within it, since every point has the same elevation.)

A hill top shows as closed contours with higher values inside, and a depression as closed contours with lower values inside. Neither gives straight, parallel lines, so those options do not fit.
