Answer 1

Uniform time based on a central meridian.

Explanation:

Standard Time is the time followed within a specific time zone, which is usually based on a central meridian. This time is uniform across the zone, so all places within a given time zone have the same time. Each time zone is typically defined by a longitude, with a standard meridian for each zone (e.g., India Standard Time (IST) is based on 82°30'E).
