India’s latitudinal and longitudinal extent measured in degrees is almost the same, but its north-south extent measured in km is greater than its east-west extent. This is due to the fact that ___________.
Option a: longitudes are not parallel lines
Option b: the distance between altitudes remains the same but the distance between longitudes is greatest at the equator and nil at the poles where all longitudes join
Option c: all longitudes with their opposites from great circles
Option d: the earth is not in perfect shape
