Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an oblique view of terrain?

An oblique view of terrain offers a perspective that is angled and can provide a three-dimensional appearance to the landscape. As a result, it does not provide a purely two-dimensional perspective. While a 2D perspective presents flat images without depth, an oblique view can incorporate depth and elevation, allowing for a more comprehensive visualization of the terrain's characteristics. This perspective is often beneficial for understanding elevations and contours, making options related to distortion or obscured features applicable to an oblique view, but not representative of a strictly 2D view. Therefore, B is the correct choice as it illustrates what an oblique view does not represent.
