D) (It is not possible to predict this.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

it is not possible to predict this

Answer 2

The answer for the following question is-

d) it is not possible to predict this.

the answer is unpredictable because

• In the equator region the stars moves parallel to each other and the celestial equator.
• All stars rise vertically in the East and set vertically in the West.
• the paths of the stars are cut in half by the horizon, such that all stars are up half the time and down the other half, regardless of their position. No star is circumpolar, no matter how close it is to the Celestial Pole.

Thus it is impossible to find the direction or position of the group of stars without further information.
