Explanation:

Topographic maps use contour lines to represent elevation. Close contour lines indicate a rapid change in elevation, meaning a steep incline. Political boundaries (A) and population (B) aren't shown by contour lines. Contour lines close to form depressions or peaks, not directly indicate water (D) in this context. So the correct conclusion is a steep incline.

Answer:

C. It has a steep incline.
