The answer is A: Mercator map projection

Mercator map projection is used most often for navigation. It is well known and familiar, and is the most common standard map used in newspapers and school books. It is used for nautical purposes and navigation charts due to its ability to represent lines of constant course. Any straight line on this projection is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator plot a straight-line course.
