Solution

The correct option is D Punjab
If the Sun's rays hits the Earth perpendicularly, it implies that the sun is at the zenith, ie, during the noon. At places to the north of the Tropic of Cancer, the Sun would appear to the south of the zenith during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. At places to the south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the Sun would appear to the north of the zenith during the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. In India, the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, etc. will observe this phenomena.
