D. You would see the sun 24 hours per day.
Iñupiaq territory refers to regions inhabited by the Iñupiaq people, who reside in northern Alaska, USA, and parts of Canada. In December, these areas experience a phenomenon known as polar night, where the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period. As a result, there is no sunrise or sunset, and it remains dark throughout the day. This condition is the opposite of the midnight sun phenomenon, which occurs during the summer months when the sun remains above the horizon for an extended period, leading to continuous daylight.
