A. They receive the same number of daylight hours over the course of a year.

Explanation:

All regions of the earth receive approximately 12 hours of sunshine a day. The planet takes approximately 24 hours (23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds) to perform the rotation. For this reason, half the globe is facing the sun for approximately 12 hours. The regions that are in this half receive sunlight for that period of time. After these twelve hours, the planet begins to turn the other half towards the sun, providing the regions of that half, sunlight.
