Solution
The correct option is C Both statements are correct
The IDL cuts the Earth into two hemispheres, namely Eastern and Western hemisphere. The coordination of time and frequency transmissions around the world began on 1 January 1960. Coordinated Universal Time is a standard used to set all-time zones around the world. For instance, New York City is in the time zone UTC minus five, meaning that it is 5 hours earlier in NYC than the reading on a UTC clock.
