Answer:

F. The length of day would be longer

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Earths rotates on its axis from the eastward to the westward direction, earth takes about 24 hours to complete its rotation. If the rate of earth's rotation on its axis slows down then the days will be longer than usual.
  • Thought the length of year would remain the same. Earth rotation is also impacted by the sun and moon's gravitational pull. The disappearance of the centrifugal force form the surface would cause climate changes and seasonal extremes.
