b. conic projection map

Because there is only a small amount of distortion over a local area, conic projection map is used for road maps and weather maps. Correct answer: B

This projection is based on the concept of projecting the earth's surface on a conical surface, which is then unrolled to a plane surface and the maps are are made by projecting points and lines from a globe onto a cone. These maps are rarely used for a complete world map.
