This one was too easy, at least I thought so. Meridians of longitude encircle the earth from pole to pole, and all meridians cross the equator at right angles. "A" is incorrect because lines of latitude are parallel to the equator. "C" is incorrect because the 0 degree line of longitude passes through Greenwich, England. The correct answer is in fact "B", Lines of longitude cross the Equator at right angles. Reference FAA-H-8083-25
