a) it contains a body of water.
b) it has a steep incline.
c) it has a high population.
d) its near a political boundary.

Explanation:

On a topographic map, close - together contour lines indicate a steep slope or incline as the elevation changes rapidly over a short horizontal distance. A body of water is usually shown by specific symbols, population is not indicated by contour lines, and political boundaries are shown by different types of lines not related to contour lines.

Answer:

B. It has a steep incline.
