The regioin is titled towqrd the Sun during polar day. (C)

(The same exact thing happens in areas south of the Antarctic Circle
in the southern hemisphere. The only difference is that the whole thing
is spelled better in the South.)

Answer:

C) The region is titled towards the Sun during polar day

Explanation:

The axis of earth is inclined about 23.5 degrees from the vertical. Due to the tilt, earth experiences different seasons. The sunlight directly falls directly in the equatorial region and slanting beyond the region. In the northern hemisphere, sun is at highest point and it is summers. The sun never sets for the areas north to arctic circle. The northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun during the polar day.
