Answer:

Contour

Explanation:

These are just lines that follow the points on the map that contain the same elevation, and are not the lines that one sees drawn for finding particular locations on a projected flat surface of the Earth like meridians or parallels, that give us longitude and latitude of a place.

The topographic lines are actually trying to represent (give an image of) the third dimension (elevation) in a two dimensional chart.
