Concept:
Topology in GIS describes the spatial relationships among geographic features.
It defines how points, lines, and polygons are connected or related to one another.
Step 1: Understand topology.
Topology maintains relationships such as
• Connectivity
• Adjacency
• Containment
Step 2: Identify the correct definition.
Thus,
\[
\boxed{\text{Topology represents spatial relationships between geographic features}.}
\]
Therefore, the correct option is
\[
\boxed{(D).}
\]
