Question

Explanation:

Polaris is the North - Star. From the continental United States (in the Northern Hemisphere), it is always above the horizon in the northern sky. It is not directly overhead (except at the North Pole), it does not rise in the West and set in the East (stars rise in the East and set in the West in general, but Polaris is near the celestial north pole and appears relatively fixed), and it is not the brightest star in the sky.

Answer:

C. is always above the horizon in the northern sky
