carefully study the map above. which of the following statements is true?
a. only the northern hemisphere is labeled correctly on the map.
b. only the western hemisphere is labeled correctly on the map.
c. both hemispheres are labeled correctly on the map.
d. neither hemisphere is labeled correctly on the map.

Explanation:

The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is north of the Equator. The Western Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is west of the Prime Meridian (20°W - 160°E). The map labels the Northern Hemisphere correctly (north of the Equator). But the Western Hemisphere label is misplaced. The Western Hemisphere should include the Americas, not the area shown in the map. So only the Northern Hemisphere is labeled correctly.

Answer:

a. Only the Northern Hemisphere is labeled correctly on the map.
