The correct answer is **b in degrees**.
Longitude and latitude are measured in degrees, with latitude indicating how far north or south a location is from the equator, and longitude indicating how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
While distances can be converted from degrees to physical units like miles or kilometers, the measurement itself is defined in degrees.
