Correct answers:
- There is a high concentration of the Sun’s rays in that region.
- The Sun reaches its highest point in the sky during this month.
Explanation: In December the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, so the Sun climbs higher in the sky and its rays strike the surface more directly (higher solar insolation). That produces longer, warmer days (the December solstice in the south is the summer solstice). The other choices are incorrect: daylight hours are longer (not fewer), and it is a summer — not winter — solstice for the Southern Hemisphere.
