Solution
The correct option is A International date line The 180th degree meridian opposite Prime Meridian is also known as the anti meridian. It is used to define International Date Line. As the Earth is spherical, travelling 180 degrees in either direction from the prime meridian will lead to 180 degrees longitude or the opposite meridian.
