Answer is: B) June 21.
This is summer solstice or midsummer.
Summer solstice occurs when a planet's geographical pole on Northern Hemisphere is most inclined toward the Sun. Earth's maximum axial tilt toward the Sun is 23.44° and the Sun reaches its highest altitude of the year on the summer solstice.
