Answer:

A) Locations M and O are at the poles

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Earth is a spherically shaped planet.
  • The Earth rotates along the axis that passes through the poles.
  • Even there is precision in the Earth's axis, the polar regions on Earth receive lesser sunlight.
  • The Equator regions receive more sunlight compared to the other regions on Earth's surface.
  • Even if there is a seasonal change due to Earth's revolution around the Sun, the average sunlight received on the equatorial regions remain the same.
  • In polar regions, the sunlight has to travel a large distance than the equatorial regions. Due to this large distance, it gets spread out.
  • Hence, the locations M and O which receive less sunlight that is spread out should be in the poles.
