Solution
The correct option is A 21st June
When the position of the Earth is such that Sun rays directly fall on the Tropic of Cancer and Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is called the Summer Solstice. It occurs on 21st June. A large portion of Northern Hemisphere gets light from the Sun resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the year.
