Topographic contour lines are lines connecting points of equal elevation. By convention, depressions are marked with hachures facing downhill.

Of the two legible choices you provide, only volcanic craters would be a depression.

Contours show the elevation of land, If it is a depression then out of those 3 it would be a volcanoe crater. ***
