    Answer (d) Plateau Escarpment, Scarp slope and Waterfall are related to vertical topography and the contours of vertical topography coincides with each other. Plateau is gently sloping to horizontal topography and hence the contours of plateau will be wide separated (because widely spaced contours indicate gently sloping surface).
