Solution

The correct option is A Easternmost tip of Russia does not get on the other side of the IDL.
The IDL starts straight but it changes its course so that the easternmost tip of Russia doesn’t get on the other side of the IDL. Then it passes straight in between through Russia and Alaska.
After that, the line again changes its course and continues its course to accommodate islands which are part of Alaska.
