Yadira Stafford · Answer 2

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

360-degree rotation of the planet in 24 hours causes a 12-hour time clock. The earth rotates on its own axis and around the sun.

It completes one rotation on its own axis in 24 hours equal to 360 degrees which make one complete solar day. The part of the earth which is exposed to the sun has daytime while the other part experiences the night time.
