Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A) change drastically because the sun doesn’t set in the summer and doesn’t rise in the winter.

At the North and South Poles, they experience extreme variations in daylight throughout the year. In the summer, the sun remains above the horizon for 24 hours (midnight sun), while in the winter, the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period (polar night).
