Answer: Option D
Solution:
Although there’s nothing official about it, many say the March or vernal equinox signals the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. The equinox is a hallmark of the seasons. At this equinox, the sun crosses the celestial equator, moving from south to north. The March 2020 equinox falls on March 20 at 03:50 UTC. That’s March 19 at 10:50 p.m. Central Daylight Time for us in North America; translate to your time zone.
