c. the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun,

Explanation:

At the summer solstice (June), the Sun travels it's longest path through the sky, and that day therefore has the most daylight. When the summer solstice happens in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted about 23.4° (23°27') toward the Sun.
