Answer:

hi!

Explanation:

jeyben [28]

The correct answer is D. How national borders in a region change over time.

Due to this, through maps, it is possible to visually show cities, states, regions countries, etc. In this context, a series of maps can be used to show the evolution or change of national borders because this is part of political features.
