Explanation

A cartographer is a person who creates maps, combining science, artistry, and technology. The word derives from 'charta' (map or paper) and 'graph' (drawing or writing). The incorrect options are wordplay on the 'cart' sound-alike - but cartography has nothing to do with pulling carts, cartoons, or travel writing.
