a
b
c

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Earth's rotation direction

From above the North Pole, Earth rotates counterclockwise (as shown by the curved arrow).

Step2: Determine sunset condition

Sunset occurs when a point moves from the illuminated (day) side to the dark (night) side. Point A is on the day - night boundary (terminator). As Earth rotates counterclockwise, point A is moving from day to night, so it is about to experience sunset. Points B is moving from night to day (sunrise), C is in night, D is in night.

A. A
