(C) Acceleration
(D) Symbol

Correct option is D

The correct answer is A, B and D.

·Distance:
○ This statement is correct.
○ Distance is a critical component of maps as it allows users to understand the scale and measure the space between locations.
○ Maps often use a scale bar or a specific ratio to represent real-world distances.

·Direction:
○ This statement is correct.
○ Direction is essential in maps to orient the user towards a specific point of the compass, such as North, South, East, and West.
○ Maps usually indicate direction with a compass rose or a north arrow to help users navigate accurately.

·Symbol
○ This statement is correct.
○ Symbols represent various physical and human-made features on a map, like roads, rivers, airports, and cities.
○ A legend or key on the map will explain what each symbol stands for, aiding in the interpretation of the map.

Additional Information

·       Acceleration
○ This statement is incorrect.
○ Acceleration is not a component of maps. Instead, it is a concept in physics that defines the rate of change of velocity of an object over time.
○ Maps do not use acceleration as it is not relevant to spatial representation and navigation.
