"All conformal projections have meridians and parallels crossing each other at right angles, just as they do on the globe" is TRUE.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

A conformal map projection is one in which the image of the projection preserves every angle between two curves i.e meridians and parallels that cross each other on Earth at 90 degree. This is basically carried out by having mathematical sense.

We may define a conformal projection at every point on Earth as one that is locally conformal. Therefore, any small figure on Earth almost resembles its picture on the map. In the small domain the projection retains the average of two lengths.
