Italic lettering on a topographic map conventionally denotes

  • A.water features
  • B.administrative boundaries
  • C.relief and spot heights
  • D.roads and railways

Answer: A

Correct answer: water features

Italic lettering is conventionally reserved for hydrographic names - rivers, lakes, seas and bays - usually in blue as well. The lettering style is a visual variable in its own right, and using slope, weight and case systematically lets a reader tell a river name from a settlement name before reading either.
