D. Near the North pole

Answer 1

In my opinion Near the equator

Answer 2

Near the South Pole.

• Our Earth doesn't revolves around the sun with its axis in the vertical position due to which there is darkness for 24 hours of the day in June.
• Due to the Earth's tilt, the regions near one pole are exposed to sunlight while the regions at the other poles would have remained dark.
• During the summers the regions near the South pole (Antarctic zone) remain dark while during winters, the region near the North pole (Arctic zone) remains dark.
