Consider the contour plot given below : The above contours of an area indicate several relief features. Which one among the following relief features is not depicted here ?

Based on standard topographic map interpretation, contour lines represent various relief features through their spacing and shape. Closely spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope [1], while widely spaced lines represent a gentle slope [1]. A river valley is identified by V-shaped contour lines where the apex of the 'V' points towards higher ground or upstream. A conical hill is typically depicted by a series of concentric closed contour lines that decrease in size toward the center, representing the summit. In the provided contour plot (implied by the question context), the absence of concentric closed circles suggests that a conical hill is not depicted. Instead, the map shows parallel or V-shaped patterns indicating slopes and valleys. Therefore, the conical hill is the feature not represented in the specific arrangement described.
