Correct answers: A, B, and E.
- A (recreation): Hikers and campers use topographic maps to navigate terrain and find trails, elevation changes, and water sources.
- B (engineering): Engineers use them to plan roads, bridges, and buildings by understanding slopes and ground features.
- E (science): Scientists use topographic maps to analyze surface features, landforms, drainage, and elevation patterns.
C is incorrect (mapping stars is astronomy, not topography). D is not a primary use—businesses typically use demographic or thematic maps to analyze population centers rather than topographic maps.
