Answer: (b)

The simplest model for the shape of the entire Earth is a sphere. The Earth’s radius is the distance from Earth’s center to its surface, about 6,371 kilometers (3,959 mi).

Earth is only approximately spherical, so no single value serves as its natural radius. Since the Earth is flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator, geodesy represents the shape of the earth with an oblate spheroid.

The oblate spheroid, or oblate ellipsoid, is an ellipsoid of revolution obtained by rotating an ellipse about its shorter axis.
