The right option is a. contour interval
The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest contour lines on a topographical map is called contour interval.
A contour interval is the vertical distance between the two contour lines (highest and lowest) in a topographical map. The contour interval is usually stated explicitly on the right-hand lower part in every map. 20 feet for a 1:24,000 map scale is the frequently used contour interval and different contour intervals is available for different maps.

Answer:
Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.
Explanation:
Following are few of it's applications:
<u>Medical field</u>- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.
<u>Agricultural industry</u>- It has been used to synthesize improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.
<u>Environment</u>- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.
