Answer
A
The term orientation relates to any colors on a map.
B
The title of a map can identify the location it shows.
C
A legend typically explains the area a map shows.
D
Colors and symbols are named in the map’s key.
E
An indicator is used to show a map’s orientation.
F
South is usually the direction at the top of a map.

Explanation

A map’s title can state the place or region it depicts, so choice B is correct. The key, also called a legend, explains what the map’s colors and symbols represent, making D correct; it does not usually explain the area shown. An orientation indicator, such as a compass rose, shows directions, so E is correct. Orientation is not about colors, and maps usually place north—not south—at the top.
