The Earth can be divided into three hemispheres.
B
The Earth can be divided into four hemispheres.
C
The equator separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
D
The prime meridian separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
E
The prime meridian separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Explanation

The equator divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the prime meridian and the 180° meridian divide it into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Together, these give four hemispheres, so “The Earth can be divided into four hemispheres” and “The prime meridian separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres” are true. The equator does not separate east from west, and the prime meridian does not separate north from south.
