Solution

The correct options are
B Venus
D Uranus
Out of all the eight planets in the Solar System, only two planets rotate from the East to the West about their axes - Venus and Uranus, while all other planets rotate from the West to the East. This causes the Sun to appear to rise from the West, and set in the East on these two planets.
