Most probably its C or B

Answer 2

The mathematical way of transferring information from the earth’s "three-dimensional curved surface" to a "two-dimensional medium", such as paper or a computer screen is called "map projection".

Step-by-step explanation:

• For the convenience of easy projection, three-dimensional objects are transferred to a two-dimensional medium using the process called 'map projection'.

• In other words, 'map projection' is a method of converting a sphere or a globe to a "two-dimensional representation". This is usually done for the convenience of better visualization and for taking approximate measurements.
