Explanation:

To precisely locate a star in the sky, right - ascension (similar to longitude on Earth) and declination (similar to latitude on Earth) are used. A constellation is a group of stars, not precise coordinates. North and east point are not the standard for star location. Meridian and great - circle are related to Earth's geography concepts, not star location. Solstice and equinox are related to Earth's position in its orbit around the Sun, not star location.

Answer:

C. right ascension and declination
