Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A topographic survey is carried out to determine the positions of natural and artificial features on the Earth's surface and to determine elevations. It aims to delineate hills, rivers, forests (natural features) as well as towns, villages, buildings, roads, transmission lines, and canals (man-made features), providing a comprehensive representation of the terrain.
