Correct Answer : Option c

Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Lines of longitude, also called meridians, are imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run north to south from pole to pole, but they measure the distance east or west. The distance between lines of longitude gradually decreases until it reaches zero at the poles where all meridians converge.

Statement 2 is correct: All lines of longitude are equal in length because they all extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, essentially covering half of the Earth's circumference on each line; making them the same length as each other.

Statement 3 is correct: All meridians meet at the North and South Poles. Longitude is related to latitude, the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. Lines of latitude are called parallels. Maps are often marked with parallels and meridians, creating a grid.
