C Correct answer
Explanation

The sun appears to rise from the east because Earth rotates on its axis from west to east (counter-clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole). This rotation creates the illusion that the sun moves across the sky from east to west. This fundamental astronomical principle applies everywhere on Earth.
