Answer:

Mercadator or Orthomorphic

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of projection is basically, a good guide for navigators and to show the continents on a map but it distorts the shape at the poles at the north and south side. such as the Greenland shape is a bit distorted and appears bigger than North America.
