A cylindrical projection in normal aspect shows meridians as

  • A.converging curved lines
  • B.concentric circles
  • C.radiating straight lines
  • D.straight parallel lines

Answer: D

Wrapping a cylinder around the Equator makes the meridians vertical and evenly spaced, which is why such maps are rectangular. On the globe they converge at the poles, and that convergence is exactly what the projection has removed.
