A true flat surface will not be represented by widely space contours but it will wholly be contained between two contours very far from each other. In the case of inclined plane surface, the lines of equal elevation are straight (as a mentioned plane) and thus are parallel. Thus C is the right answer.

Space between contour represent elevation difference.

In a flat surface, as elevation difference is very less thus widely space contour is used. As we know a particular contour line represents one particular elevation.

Widely spread: flat ground.
Close together: steep ground.
Uniformly spaced: uniform slope.
Straight, parallel and equally spaced: plane surface.

According to BC Punamia, the straight parallel and equally spaced contour represent a plane surface.

Agree with you @Namita.

It's a plane surface, not a flat surface, so the given answer is correct.

Sumit said:   6 years ago
Contour deals with elevation difference. So how can a flat surface have widely spaced contour?

Haseeb said:   3 years ago
The given answer is correct.

Flat surface do not have straight lines.

Garry said:   7 years ago
A flat surface is the correct option for this question.

Govinda said:   6 years ago
A flat surface is the correct answer.
