Solution

The correct option is C longer
Australia is located on southern hemisphere.
During winters, the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. Due to the tilt of the axis, less sunlight reaches the Earth's surface in the 24 hours. Therefore, the days seem to be shorter and the nights seem longer in winters.
