Concept:The Tropic of Capricorn is the latitude where the Sun is directly overhead at noon on the December solstice.
Explanation:The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of
23.5∘.
As the Earth revolves around the Sun, the vertical noon rays move between the Tropic of Cancer at
23.5∘ N and the Tropic of Capricorn at
23.5∘ S.
On December 22, the Sun is overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn.
This date marks the beginning of summer in the Southern Hemisphere and winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Thus, option B is the correct choice.
Answer:B. December 22
