Which phrase describes the prime meridian?

Answer
A
runs parallel to the equator
B
is a line of latitude
C
is labeled at 90 degrees on a world map
D
divides the Western and Eastern Hemispheres

Explanation

The prime meridian is the line of longitude at 0 degrees. It divides Earth into the Western and Eastern Hemispheres, so choice D is correct. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator, and 90 degrees describes the poles, not the prime meridian.
