Solution
The correct option is A Equator
The Equator is an imaginary line that is also referred to as the 0° latitude. The equator is the great circle around the Earth. It is equidistant from the geographic poles and lies in a plane perpendicular to the Earth’s axis. The equatorial regions are extremely hot and humid. Such climate persists for almost the whole year. This is because the sun's rays are concentrated and coming in at a steep angle.
