Solution

The correct options are
A North Pole
C South Pole
The North Pole and the South Pole are located at an angle of 90° from the equator. Being the farthest points from the equator, these locations are some of the coldest on the planet. The Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle, on the other hand, are closer to the equator and are located at an angle of 66.5° North and South, respectively.
