C
Correct answer
Explanation
Geographic grids (also called graticules) are the network of intersecting latitude and longitude lines drawn on maps and globes. Latitudes run east-west and measure north-south position, while longitudes run north-south and measure east-west position. Together, they form a coordinate system that allows precise location identification. Longitudes or latitudes alone are not the complete grid system.
