C Correct answer
Explanation

Planets visible before dawn appear in the eastern sky because that's the direction where celestial objects rise. As Earth rotates eastward, objects in the sky appear to move from east to west, so in the pre-dawn hours, Jupiter and other planets are seen rising in the eastern portion of the sky before sunrise.
