The location of a place in relationship to other places or features around it is called: (a)absolute location (b) relative location (c) site (d)situation

(b) relative location

Explanation:

Relative location is the location of a place relating to the other place or feature. It means explaining the location of something according to other places – for example, how many miles are between one place and another, and on what side of the other place it is positioned (east, west, etc.) It can even be expressed in time or money, for example, “It is a 2-hour drive from the London” or “The gas costs 30 dollars to get there”.

The relative location would be giving the direction to the person on the street how to reach some location according to the location where you two are at the moment.

This is different from the absolute location, which is explained on its own and never changes according to something else. An example would be the street address or the coordinates on the map.
