    Explanation:

    3 only

    Explanation:
    A Great Circle is any circle that divides the globe into two equal halves and has the same center and radius as the Earth.

    • Equator is the only line of latitude that is a Great Circle.

    • Prime Meridian and other meridians form Great Circles only when combined with their opposite meridians, not individually.

    • Tropic of Cancer is a small circle and not a Great Circle.
