Answer:

A Mercator projection is the correct answer

Explanation:

The Mercator projection was first presented by cartographer and Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. Later due to its unique representation of north as up and south as down while preserving the local angular relationships, it became the standard projection for use in navigation. One major drawback of Mercator projection is that it distorts distance and size as you get closer towards the pole.
