Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Latitudes are the lines that are parallel to one another and that runs in the east-west direction. The earth bulges at the equator, so the length of the latitude at the equator is the longest. This latitude, along with the longitude, gives the exact co-ordinate on earth.

These lines of latitude are extended in both the northern and the southern hemisphere, at a fixed interval of 10°. This ranges from 0° at the equator to the 90° at the poles. The length of these lines of latitude decreases with the increasing distance from the equator.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
