Answer:

B)north and south

Explanation:

The line located at 50 degrees west of Greenwich is a line of longitude, or meridian. Meridians run around the Earth vertically, and meet at the North and South Poles. Therefore, they extend in a north and south direction. This meridian was established by a papal decree in 1493, which divided the land in the New World between Spain and Portugal.
