Answer: Baltimore

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no diagram included but the answer can be inferred from the rotation of the Earth.

The Earth rotates from east to west which is why places further to the east receive sunlight first each day. It is for this reason that Australia and New Zealand receive sunlight more than 15 hours before the United States does.

In the U.S. the furthest city to the east mentioned in the options is Baltimore. They will therefore receive sunlight before everyone else.
