Answer:

Correct answer is D. It is the distance north or south from the equator.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not correct as this refers to altitude.

B is not correct as distance between two poles has nothing to do with latitude.

C is not correct as it refers to longitude.

Therefore, only correct answer is D, as latitude is distance north or south from the equator.
