The reason the images are geometrically distorted representations of Earth's surface is because D. three dimensions of earths surface are displayed on two dimensional page.

The topographic map is that of a three dimensional surface which is showing the height of a mountain. It is however, represented on a two dimensional drawing.

This distorts the representation of the Earth on the map because positions had to be shifted to accommodate the three dimensional description.

Other options are wrong because:

  • a lot of maps show the color of earth's vegetation and surface.
  • GIS maps show three dimensional layers
  • printed maps can be quite accurate so do not distort people's sense of location.

In conclusion, if the map represented Mount Shasha as a two dimensional landmark on the two dimensional map, there would be no geometrical distortions - all else held equal.
