Solution

The correct option is B location of the place and rotation and revolution of the earth

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle when the Sun remains visible at the local midnight.

Around the summer solstice (approximately 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere and 23 December in the Southern Hemisphere), the Sun does not set below the horizon within a 24 hour period.

The countries and territories whose populations experience the midnight sun are limited to those crossed by the Arctic Circle: The Canadian Yukon, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories; the nations of Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark (Greenland), Russia; and the State of Alaska in the United States
