d=elevation
It can't be "slope" because that depends on how far apart the contour lines are spaced. Close together contour lines indicate a very steep hill or even a cliff.
Temperature and "rock type" have nothing to do with contour lines.

A contour line shows elevation. A contour line (also level set, isopleth, isoline, isogram or isarithm) for a function of two variables is a curve connecting points where the function has a same particular value

Elevation.
Contours are the lines formed by joining points of equal elevation.
