D Correct answer
Explanation

Venus is called the 'morning star' when it appears in the east before sunrise, and the 'evening star' when it appears in the west after sunset. This is because Venus's orbit is closer to the Sun than Earth's, so it's always visible relatively near the Sun in our sky. It's not actually a star, but the brightest planet in our sky.
