The correct answer is: A. A great circle passing through the place and the poles.
A meridian is a line of longitude that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and passes through a particular place on Earth. There are 360 meridians, each of which is 180 degrees apart from the next. The Prime Meridian is the meridian that passes through Greenwich, England, and is used as the reference point for all other longitudes.
A great circle is a circle on the surface of a sphere that has the same center as the sphere. All meridians are great circles.
A semi-circle is a half-circle. A meridian is not a semi-circle because it passes through the poles.
An arc of a circle is a part of a circle that is less than a semi-circle. A meridian is not an arc of a circle because it passes through the poles.
