What is the only line of latitude that is the great circle?

Is the Tropic of Cancer a great circle?
No; neither of the tropics is a great circle. The only line of latitude that is a great circle is the equator. The arctic and antarctic circles are not great circles, either.

Why is there only one latitude line that can be a great circle?
The equator is a line of latitude that is a great circle. As you move in the direction of either the north pole or the south pole, away from the equator, you are then drawing a circle around only a fraction of the planet, rather than the full circumference. The lines of latitude get progressively smaller, until at the poles they collapse into mere points.
How many miles is a line of latitude?
-- Since every point on a line of latitude has the same latitude, the line has no thickness. -- Its length depends on its latitude. -- The line at zero latitude, known as the 'equator', is a great circle and so its length is the circumference of the Earth ... about 24,900 miles. -- Every other line of latitude is a small circle. Its length is 24,900 miles times the cosine of the latitude which it marks. -- The distance between any latitude and the one that's 1° north or south of it is about 111.1 kilometers (69 miles).
Is the only line of latitude that is a Great Circle is the equator ture or false?
That question is a ture statement. whew
When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
