A Correct answer
Explanation

The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on the surface of Earth that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, mostly through the Pacific Ocean. It demarcates the change of one calendar day to the next. The IDL is located approximately along the 180° longitude but deviates around certain island groups to avoid dividing them into two different days. It is not in the Atlantic, Indian, or Arctic oceans.
