Question 2 • (A. Costello)WCA 5324 Geometry 1st Nine Weeks 26-27
On a globe, geodesics are the shortest paths along the surface, represented by great circles. Any two meridians (great-circle paths through the North and South Poles) meet at both poles, so they cannot be parallel. This is shown by choice D: the geodesics connecting the poles intersect at both poles.
