D
End zone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The North Frigid Zone, between the North Pole at 90° N and the Arctic Circle at 66°33′48.7” N, covers 4.12% of Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -THE FRIGID ZONE In the northern hemisphere, it is located between the Arctic Circle (66.5 degrees N) and the North Pole (90 degrees N), while in the southern hemisphere, it is located between the Antarctic Circle (66.5 degrees S) and the South Pole (90 degrees S).

Detailed explanation-3: -In geography, temperate latitudes of the globe lie between the tropics and the polar circles. The changes in these regions between summer and winter are generally subtle, warm or cool, rather than extreme, burning hot or freezing cold. However, a temperate climate can have very unpredictable weather.

Detailed explanation-4: -The temperate zone is sometimes called the mid-latitudes because they exist roughly between 30 degrees and 60 degrees north and south latitude. There is a greater variety in climates in the temperate zone, but many regions can be classified as either moist-continental or moist-subtropical.

Detailed explanation-5: -low latitudes: 30°S to 30°N latitude (including the equator). middle latitudes (or midlatitudes for short): 30° to 60° latitude (in each hemisphere). high latitudes: 60° to 90° latitude (in each hemisphere).
