Answer
The correct answer is By analyzing the color coding and symbols used..
Explanation
The correct option is By analyzing the color coding and symbols used.. By analyzing the color coding and symbols used. is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to infer physical and human landscape patterns from map evidence, including relief, drainage, settlement, communication and land use. This belongs to Cartographic skills within Cartographic skills, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Cartographic skills, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
