Answer:

C) Both A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of 0 degrees latitude is known as the Equator. With 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator, each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator. The North Pole is 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south latitude.
