Answer:

b. Latitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude.
