A map is a representation or a drawing of the Earth's surface or a part of it drawn on a flat surface accordingly to a scale. But it is impossible to flatten the shape completely. Features of a map:The map shows a small area and a few facts distance direction & are the three components of the mapMaps have a universal language that can be understood by all there is an international agreement regarding the use of these symbols these are called conventional symbols.We use symbols to show objects, walls, roads, temples, lakes and railway tracks, etc.Most maps contain an arrow marked with the letter n at the upper right-hand corner. This Arrow shows the north direction it is called the north line.The north in a map is always towards the top margin. ?Hence B & D are the correct options. Additional information On the other hand the statements "A map is always made assuming that a person is looking at a place from the ground" and "We measure actual distances and depict the same" are wrong regarding maps because the actual distance is very long but we show that in a map by small distance based on scale.
