Which of the following map projections is MOST closely identified with distorting shape and size? A cylindrical projection A Mercator projection A conical projection A Robinson projection An azimuthal projection

A Mercator projection

Explanation:

Mercator projection is defined as a map projection was found in 1569 by Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator.

The Mercator projection seems parallels around a cylindrical globe and meridians appears as straight lines, but there is distortion of scale near the poles which do not make it a practical world map.
