Solution

The correct option is C Meridian

When we extend earths equator in all directions, it penetrates the celestial sphere along a circle called as celestial equator.
Meridian is the great circle that passes through both zenith and nadir.
The point exactly below the observer on the celestial sphere is called Nadir.
