Solution

The correct option is D Poles
The North Pole remains inclined towards the sun for six months due to which the places near Arctic Circle experience continuous daylight for six months while South Pole remains away from the sun for six months and experiences night for the same period. The same condition reverses for the next six months when South Pole inclines towards the Sun and experiences day while North Pole experiences night.
