Solution

The correct option is B

Motion of the sun


Due to Earth revolving around Sun, the sun seems to be moving for an observer on Earth. But in reality the sun does not move, we perceive it to be moving due to the motion of Earth. This motion of Sun is called apparent motion and the path is called apparent path.
