The correct option is D ; The sun's rays will never be directly overhead. The latitude of 23 ½ degrees north is known as the Tropic of Cancer. Above this imaginary line the sun's rays hit earth with decreased angles.

The path in which the sun moves across the sky usually varies from one season to another. This path is directly related to the position of sunrise and sunset, as the position of sunrise and sunset changes with the changing position of the sun.

Even though the sun appears to be at the highest position during the winter solstice where the sun is at the maximum height and receives the highest amount of daylight, the sun is never directly overhead in the state of New York.

Thus, the rays of the sun never falls directly overhead in this region. At this condition, i.e above the tropic of cancer, the sun's rays hit the earth with gradually decreased angles.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

A) The sun's rays would also be directly overhead. The sun's rays strike earth at 90 degrees throughout the hemisphere.

B) The sun's rays would also be directly overhead but only for one hour, twelve noon until one o'clock. After that the earth's movement distorts the angle of the sun's rays.

C) The sun's rays will be directly overhead in the Northern Hemisphere during the fall equinox. The movement of earth changes the angle of incidence of the sun's rays throughout the year.

D) The sun's rays will never be directly overhead. The latitude of 23 ½ degrees north is known as the Tropic of Cancer. Above this imaginary line the sun's rays hit earth with decreased angles.
