Correct Answer:


Solution : The correct answer is Hachure.

Hachures are short, discontinuous lines on a map that show the slope of the ground surface. Hachures are an older type of relief representation. They indicate slope orientation and provide a general impression of steepness through their thickness and overall density. It is a less scientific way of representing relief.
