Answer:

C) 3,600

Explanation:

An arcsecond is equal to 1/3600 of a degree. Hence, the inverse will give the number of arcsecond in a degree. An arcsecond is one of the ways to measure angular measurement

[tex]1\ arcminute=\frac{1}{60}\ degree\\\Rightarrow 1\ degree=60\ arcminute[/tex]

[tex]\\\Rightarrow 1\ degree=60\times 60\ arcsecond\\\Rightarrow 1\degree=3600\ arcsecond[/tex]
