Consider the following statements about latitudes. Which of the following is correct ?
Answer: B
The correct statement is Tropic of Capricorn passes through southern hemisphere.
The Tropic of Capricorn is the parallel at 23½° south of the equator, so it lies in the southern hemisphere.
The other statements are wrong. The Arctic Circle is at 66½° north and the Antarctic Circle at 66½° south; 23½° is the latitude of the tropics. The Tropic of Cancer is at 23½° north, so it passes through the northern hemisphere, not the southern.
