  Time Zones
Correct Answer
A. Equator

Explanation
The equator is the line of latitude at 0 degrees. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The equator is located halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole and is known for its hot and tropical climate. It is significant because it determines the length of a day and is used as a reference point for measuring latitude. The prime meridian, on the other hand, is the line of longitude at 0 degrees. Time zones are divisions of the Earth's surface based on the rotation of the Earth and are not directly related to the equator.
