B

C
Scientific
D
Absolute
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A place’s absolute location is its exact place on Earth, often given in terms of latitude and longitude. For example, the Empire State Building is located at 40.7 degrees north (latitude), 74 degrees west (longitude). It sits at the intersection of 33rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City, New York, United States.

Detailed explanation-2: -Absolute location refers to a specific, fixed point on the Earth’s surface as expressed by a scientific coordinate system. It is more precise than the relative location, which describes where a place is located using other places nearby.

Detailed explanation-3: -The absolute location of a place doesn’t change such as the address of a place or the latitude and longitude of a place. Relative location will change depending on the person describing the location. When giving the absolute location of a place, you need only to provide either the coordinates or the address.
