The correct option is B Itanagar
Dong is where the sun rises first in India.
Before the sun emerges from behind the hills of the Northeast, and from beyond the sea along India's east coast, it rises in Dong, which is in a valley in Arunachal Pradesh.
It was discovered that Dong in Arunachal Pradesh, which also happens to be the easternmost place in India, experiences the first sunrise of the country.
Ever since that, visitors have been flocking the state and covering an 8-kilometer trek onl last.y to see the sunrise from behind the mountains.
