- ALatitude of the place alone
- BLongitude of the place alone
- CBoth latitude and longitude of the place
- DNeither latitude nor longitude of the place
Explanation
Absolute location is the precise position of a place on the Earth's surface expressed as a coordinate pair. Latitude alone gives only the north-south position and longitude alone only the east-west position; both are needed together to pinpoint a place uniquely. Hence both latitude and longitude are required.
