The distance north or south from the equator a - prime meridian b - true north c - latitude d - longitude e - map f - reference point e - cardinal directions

The correct answer is C. The distance north or south from the Equator is latitude.

Explanation:

Latitude is a geographic coordinate represented by an angular value, the expression of the position of a point on Earth (or on another planet), north or south of the equator, which is the reference plane. When they are connected to each other, all the places of the Earth with the same latitude form a circle whose plane is parallel to that of the equator, hence the term "parallel" to name a latitude.
