C Correct answer
Explanation

The Pole Star (Polaris) appears stationary from Earth's perspective because it lies almost exactly above Earth's rotational axis (north celestial pole). While other stars appear to move across the sky due to Earth's rotation, Polaris remains fixed in the same position, making it useful for navigation.
