On which of the following projection, the world map can be prepared?

Correct option is B

Introduction
A world map requires a map projection that can represent the entire globe. While many projections are used for world maps (like Mercator, Robinson, or Winkel Tripel), the Cylindrical Equal Area Projection is suitable for a world map and is designed to preserve the equivalence of area (equal-area property) across the entire map. This feature is vital for comparing the size of continents and countries worldwide.
Information Booster
· Projection Type: It is a type of pseudocylindrical or orthophanic (equal-area) projection.
· Primary Feature: The map is constructed so that every area on the map is proportional to the same area on the Earth, ensuring correct area comparison.
· Suitable for: Used frequently in atlases to show distribution patterns and is a simple equal-area projection for world maps.
· Distortion: Distances are correct along all parallels and the central meridian(s), but shapes are increasingly distorted away from the central meridian(s) and near the poles.
· Mathematical Basis: Mathematically based on a cylinder tangent to the Equator.
Additional Points
· Zenithal Equal Area Projection: Also known as Azimuthal Equal Area Projection, it is best for showing polar regions or hemisphere maps, as distortion increases away from the central point.
· Bonne’s Projection: A pseudoconical equal-area projection often used for single continents or countries, not typically the standard for a complete world map.
· Gnomonic Projection: An Azimuthal projection where great circles are straight lines; best for navigation between two points, not for general world maps as it can only show slightly more than a hemisphere.
