Prime meridian (lines of longitude) would be represent by 180 degree

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The longitudes are vertical lines, and they intersect with latitudes to form grids. Sunlight takes about 4 minutes to pass from one grid to another. So, they are designated either West or East, besides their number in order to identify the location.

East longitudes cover 180 degrees and West ones cover west. So, totally there are 360 degree longitudes, having one standard one, called Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian stays at the center of the earth, and hence termed as the center longitude and noble of all the verticals.
