The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The contour map has elevation labels 100, 95, 90, 85, 80 on the upper-left set of lines, and 80, 85, 90, 100 on the lower-right set of lines (with a closed 95 contour).
Point A lies between the two 80 contours, one from each set, so the ground at A is at the lowest level and rises on both sides, towards 100 in the upper-left and towards 85-100 in the lower-right.
Ground that falls to a low line between higher ground on both sides is a valley.
A is not on a ridge (which would be higher than the surroundings), nor on a lake or plain land (no widely spaced contours).
Answer: (4) Valley
