Solution

The correct option is B 60
A popular belief about the number of meridians is that there only exist 360 "important" degrees of longitude. However, it is essential to note that there is a considerable amount of distance between each meridian. To address this, each degree has been divided into 60 equal parts, with each part being further divided into 60 seconds to improve accuracy.
