Solution

The correct option is B Equator
The Equator is the greatest ie the longest circle on earth which is 40075 km in length. Hence Option B is correct.
Moving northwards or southwards the equator the lengths of latitudinal circles decrease thus tropic of cancer, tropic of Capricorn and antarctic circles are shorter than the equator.
