Answer:

B. Mercator projection

Explanation:

The Mercator projection is a map projection that was developed by Gerardus Mercator in 1569. This is one of the best known map projections because of the advantages it has for navigation. A Mercator projection shows correct shapes and directions. It also preserves the angles and the shapes of small objects. However, the main disadvantage of such a map is the fact that it inflates the size of objects away from the equator, which can give an inaccurate representation of distances and size.
