Answer ( Option B)

Solution

True meridian is defined as the plane that passes through true north poles (geographical north pole) and true south poles (geographical South Pole) at the place of observation.
 
True meridian can be established by astronomical observation as it passes through true north and south.
 
The true meridians at any place are not variable and they converge to a point at pole at northern or southern hemisphere.
 
The maps prepared by National survey departments are based on the true meridians.
