Answer:

b. A view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one façade. This is the most common view used to describe the external appearance of a building.

Explanation:

An elevation is a three-dimensional, orthographic, architectural projection that reveals just a side of the building. It is represented with diagrams and shadows are used to create the effect of a three-dimensional image.

It reveals the position of the building from ground-depth and only the outer parts of the structure are illustrated. Elevations, building plans, and section drawings are always drawn together by the architects.
