Sagot :

AL2006
Latitude is an angle measured north or south from the equator. The greatest possible latitude is 90 degrees ... 90°N at the north pole, 90°S at the south
pole, and you can't get any farther from the equator than the poles.  So from
the latitudes on this list, 90°N and 90°S are the ones where glaciers are most
likely.

Answer : Option D) 90°N and 90°S

Explanation : The latitudes which are given in the options are the angle to be measured in the direction of north and south respectively taking equator as the central line.

When it is 90°N and 90°S it means it forms an right angle and faces towards north and south respectively with respect to the equator, so there are high chances of pointing towards the Arctic and Antarctic regions respectively; therefore giving greater probability of finding glaciers.
