The correct answer is (d) The sun is always directly overhead at noon on the equator.
EXPLANATION:
The equator is full of snow and it is called snowline which is 1000 metres lower than mount Everest. Equator is also called as great circle, though it is a plane which goes through the globe at the centre. Cyclones are formed only in the seas and rotation of the earth causes the cyclone to track off the arc and it does not affect the equatorial line. Cyclones will be from 4 degrees north and south of the equator. The sun is directly high at noon on two days per year in the equator for the two equinoxes.
