A Correct answer
Explanation

A large-scale map shows a small area in great detail, such as a city street map, because the ratio of map distance to actual distance is relatively large. Conversely, a small-scale map shows a large area, like a country or continent, with less detail. Therefore, a map focusing on a small area is a large-scale map.
