A.does not set below the horizon at the Arctic Circle
C.shines vertically overhead at noon on the Equator
Correct Answer: Option A
On June 21st, which marks the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky, resulting in the longest day.
At the Arctic Circle, there is continuous daylight around the time of the summer solstice; hence the sun does not set below the horizon.
At the Antarctic Circle, it is the winter solstice, hence the sun remains below the horizon.
Therefore, option A is correct.
