Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Short-break line

To explain: Short- break lines usually shortens an object that otherwise would be longer at a real world scale. These are continuous, thin, heavy, semi-parallel, wavy lines. They are drawn free hand for consistent shaped objects and are used to show short break or irregular boundaries.
