Solution

The correct options are
A one half of the Earth will receive all the sunlight
C one half of the Earth will be in darkness
If the Earth stops rotating, then only half of it will receive all sunlight. This side would get heated up, eventually destroying plant and animal life. The other half will be in darkness, which kills plants as they won't be getting sunlight to make the food. Without sunlight, the temperature will drop and the other half of Earth would become a cold desert. Eventually, it will harm all animals including humans.
