D) ?1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
?Large part of Norway lies north of the Arctic Circle and receives sun light for all the 24 hours during the summer season. Even at midnight the sun is above the horizon and Norway is called the "land of midnight sun". Japan is located at the extreme eastern end of the world and receives the first rays of the rising sun. It is because of this reason that Japan is called the "land of rising sun". Singapore is located near the equator where duration of day remains nearly same i.e. of 12 hours through the year and there are practically no variations in the duration of the day at Singapore.
