Solution

The correct option is B Latitude
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 and 90 degrees south latitude marks the South Pole.

The correct option is B.
