Solution

The correct option is A 90
The equator represents the zero degree latitude and it divides the Earth into two equal hemispheres, North and South. Since the distance from the equator to either side of the poles is one-fourth of a circle round the Earth, it will measure one-fourth of 360 degrees, i.e. 90 degree. Thus, 90 degrees north latitude marks the North Pole.
The correct option is A.
