Solution

The correct option is B
Due to the rotation of the earth with its axis tilt

Due to the Earth's rotation and tilt on its axis, the path of the Sun across the sky varies, and therefore, the rising and setting time changes. At different locations on Earth, the rising and setting times vary because the portion of the celestial sphere visible from different locations of Earth is different.
