Answer 1

The correct option is A Due to apparent northward movement of the sun, the global heat belts shift north-wards.

A. Due to the apparent northward movement of the sun, the global heat belts shift north-wards.

Peninsular India is closer to the Equator as compared to Northern India. Thus when the sun's direct rays shift from the Equator to the Tropic of Cancer, southern India receives the direct rays before Northern India.
