Explanation:

Question 16

Meridians (like the Humboldt Meridian) are lines of longitude, which run north - south. Latitudes run east - west. Northwest and Southwest are diagonal directions, not the direction of a meridian.

In metes and bounds descriptions, points of reference should be permanent and official. A neighbor's fence is a private, potentially changeable feature. Corners of sections, townships, and neighboring property lines (official property boundaries) are more stable and appropriate for reference.

Answer:

B. North and South
