Which identifies the best meaning for the technical term topography?  

The correct answer is: The terrain, or land, in a particular area.

It refers to how the NOAA Weather Radios can predict winter storms in relation to the representation of the surface features of that specific area. Depending on the place, or region these radios can predict winter storms, the more mountainous the less they cover in an area. The topography interferes in how radio signals will travel in forest and urban areas that is why it is so important for NOAA Weather Radios.   

The correct answer is The terrain, or land, in a particular area.

Topography is a field of geoscience which studies the shape and features of land surfaces. A topography of an area usually refers to the shapes and features of a area as well as descriptions of the features in the form of graphs, symbols or even texts.
