Answer -B
In the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year is called the summer solstice. In technical terms, this day is referred to as the summer solstice, the longest day of the summer season. The maximum amount of sunlight received by the Northern Hemisphere during this time is usually on June 20, 21 or 22. It occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, or more specifically right over 23.5-degree north latitude. This will happen around 9:02 am on Monday (Indian Standard Time).
