Maps differ from photographs in many different ways, including:
a. lack of cultural bias in maps
b. showing "invisible" aspects such as political boundaries
c. complete accuracy in maps
d. always showing good weather

Ithink the answer is d.

The highest point of a hill (or mountain) is a single point.
a single point can only be precisely marked with a dot. 
putting on a contour line is impossible  on a single point because the contour line is created after multiple points that have the same hight are marked, and after that, all of those points are connected with a line that creates a closed area. so the highest point, as said above, is a single point, there are no other points with the same height, so the only possible way for it to be marked is with a dot, and there is no possibility for a contour line.
