The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Survey of India (SOI) is the national mapping agency responsible for topographic/base mapping (Topo sheets, Open Series/Defense Series maps).
Geological maps are produced by the Geological Survey of India (GSI).
Soil maps are produced primarily by NBSS&LUP (ICAR).
“Thematic maps” is a broad category; in India, national thematic atlases are mainly by NATMO and subject agencies, not core SOI products. Therefore only Topographical Maps (A) are the standard SOI publications.
