Braiden · Answer 2

The correct answer is:

B. lines of latitude.

Explanation:

Lines of latitude are lines that run east and west parallel to the equator. They are also called parallels because they are always the same distance from each other. Lines of Latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator. The Equator is a line of latitude and is labeled "0' " (0 degrees) latitude.
