Answer 1

Your answer is A. Run in an east and west direction and measure distance north and south of the equator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines of latitude, also called parallels, are imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run east to west, but measure your distance north or south. The equator is the most well known parallel. At 0 degrees latitude, it equally divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
