Explanation:

In the Northern Hemisphere, on December 21 (winter - solstice), there are the fewest hours of daylight. Then hours of daylight increase as we move towards March 21 (vernal equinox), continue to increase until peaking on June 21 (summer - solstice), and then start to decrease towards October 21. This pattern is represented by a sinusoidal - like curve that first goes up and then comes down.

A.
