The correct option is (C) Conical. The provided context explicitly states under the 'Limitations' section that 'It is not suitable for a world map due to extreme distortions in the hemisphere opposite the one in which the standard parallel is selected.' The subsequent 'Uses' section describes this projection as suitable for 'mid-latitudes' and areas with 'east-west stretch,' which are characteristics of a Conical projection. In contrast, the context provides examples of constructing Mercator's projection and Cylindrical Equal Area projection specifically 'for the world map,' indicating they are suitable for that purpose.
