Grid is a Network of (A) Parallels of latitudes and meridians of longitudes (B) The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn (C) The North Pole and the South Pole

Answer: (A). Parallels of latitudes and meridians of longitudes

Explanation: Latitudes are full circles extending from the equator to the poles. The Equator is the most extensive latitude. Meridians of longitude, on the other hand, are only reference lines. They extend from the north to the south pole. The prime meridian passes through Greenwich. Both latitude and longitude are measured in degrees and used to determine a location and time at a place.
