Having lived in Ecuador for 4 years, it is a point of local pride that the top of Mount Chimborazo is the farthest point from the centre of the earth, another way to describe "closest to space".

One of the choices is scientifically correct. (In the poll)

Mathematically on pure numbers. From X to Y.

Yup I know about Mount Everest and the two counties that stake claim to it.

Defining the term is what the scientific mind strives to archive. If I spoke more of it, the answer would become obvious.
