Answer: (B)

You’re being asked to name the resource that collects many maps in one bound volume. that is an atlas. An atlas is designed to help you see different geographical areas—world, country, regions—through maps, often with scales, legends, and sometimes accompanying place-name indexes. Glossaries list terms with definitions, not maps. Dictionaries provide word spellings and definitions. Encyclopedias offer articles on a wide range of topics, not primarily maps. So the book of maps best fits the idea of an atlas.
