    B)  Venus              

    C)  Saturn                         

    D)  Mercury                       

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The direction of the sunrise depends upon the direction of the rotation of the earth on its axis. Any planet rotation on its axis from west to east will experience sunrise in the east and vice versa. Venus rotates on its axis from east to west and thus experiences sunrise in the west.
