Answer 1

Answer:

C. Covers a small area with detailed information

Large-scale maps are maps that depict relatively small areas with detailed information. Examples are cadastral maps and topographic maps. In large-scale maps, 1 cm on the map represents 25,000 cm on the ground. That is, 1 cm is equal to 0.25 km.
