  3. Behrmann projection

  4. Bonne projection
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Lambert conformal conic projection is standard for aeronautical charts because it preserves angles (conformal) and accurately represents shapes over medium latitudes. Pilots rely on these charts for navigation as straight lines roughly represent great circle routes, making flight planning more accurate.
