The position that correspond with summer in the Southern Hemisphere is the earth position with Letter C.

What is the feature of this season?

In the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.

This means that when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun receiving more direct sunlight and experiencing warmer temperatures, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun leading to cooler temperatures and winter conditions.

When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun resulting in longer daylight hours, higher temperatures and the characteristic warm weather associated with summer.

Therefore, the Letter C is the option that correspond to this position.
