    Correct Answer
    A. When the sun stays more than six degrees below the horizon all day
    Explanation
    A polar night refers to a period when the sun remains more than six degrees below the horizon all day. This phenomenon occurs in polar regions during winter, where the sun doesn't rise above the horizon for an extended period. As a result, these regions experience continuous darkness throughout the day. This condition is distinct from regions where the sun sets and rises daily, as during a polar night, the sun remains completely below the horizon, resulting in a prolonged absence of daylight.
