Explanation:

There are five fundamental lines in a Theodolite:

1. Vertical axis (Azimuth axis):  It is the axis about which the instrument rotates in the horizontal plane.

2.  Horizontal Axis (Trunnion axis): It is the axis about which the instrument rotates in the vertical plane.

3. Line of Collimation (Line of Sight):  It is the line that passes through the intersection of horizontal and vertical crosshairs and the optical center of the object glass.

4. Bubble Line (Level tube axis or Altitude level axis): It is a straight line tangential to the longitudinal curve of the level tube at its center. It is horizontal when the bubble is in the center.

5. Plate level axis: It is perpendicular to the vertical axis when the bubble is at the center.
