___ is a surveying technique that uses photography to make measurements and create maps or 3D models.

Photogrammetry is the correct answer because it is precisely defined as the science of making measurements from photographs, especially for recovering the exact positions of surface points and creating maps or 3D models. It's a fundamental surveying technique.

• Cartography is the study and practice of making maps, but it doesn't specifically involve using photography for measurements.
• Topography refers to the study of the forms and features of land surfaces, or the actual physical features themselves, not the technique of measurement via photography.
• Lithography is a method of printing originally based on the immiscibility of oil and water, completely unrelated to surveying or photography for measurement.
