Solution

The correct option is D is hidden by the glare of the Sun and hence not visible during the day time
Mercury is the first planet of our solar system. It is very close to the Sun and is mostly hidden because of excessive light or glare of the Sun. Hence, it is not easily visible. However, it can be seen just before sunrise or just after sunset from places where trees and buildings do not disturb the view.
