Answer: D. 10 degree angle

All places on Earth received sunlight but in different angles. The smallest area, which is the north of the Arctic Circle receive sunlight at a 10 degree angle because of the tilted axis of rotation. Usually, the sun’s rays are the most intense at the equator and the least intense at the poles as Earth revolves around the sun.
