Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "curvilinear" specifically refers to lines that are not straight, and is therefore the only valid option in this scenario for lines that are not linear. A is incorrect because it implies that the lines must be straight, which is not always the case. B and D are both incorrect because they do not provide a specific descriptor for the type of line.
