Latitude runs from 0° at the equator to 90°N at the North Pole and 90°S at the South Pole, resulting in 90 degrees of latitude in total. Longitude ranges from 0° at the Prime Meridian to 180°E and 180°W, resulting in 360 degrees of longitude in total. Therefore, the best choice is B as it correctly identifies the number of degrees of both latitude (90) and longitude (180).
