Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) Anticlastic

Explanation

The two principal curvatures bend in opposite senses, producing a saddle-like anticlastic surface, C. A synclastic surface bends the same way in both principal directions; a monoclastic form curves in only one direction. Möbius describes a different topological surface property.
