    Latitude and longitude are used to find absolute location on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude measures the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By combining these two coordinates, one can pinpoint a specific location with great accuracy. Time, direction, and distance are not sufficient on their own to determine absolute location, making latitude and longitude the correct answer.

    Explanation
    Pull factors are reasons that attract or entice individuals to go to a specific location. These factors can include opportunities for employment, better living conditions, access to education or healthcare, or a desirable climate. Pull factors are often contrasted with push factors, which are reasons that compel individuals to leave their current location. In this case, the correct answer is "Pull Factor" because it best describes the motivation behind why a person would choose to go to a particular location.
