The planet Venus can be observed in the morning before sunrise if it is well to the _______________.

A west of and lower than the Sun
B east of and lower than the Sun
C east of and higher than the Sun
D west of and higher than the Sun
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) west of and higher than the Sun. This is correct because for Venus to be visible in the morning before sunrise, it must be west of the Sun's position and above the horizon, allowing it to be seen in the sky prior to the Sun rising. The other options are incorrect because Venus would not be visible in the morning if it were east of the Sun (options B and C) or below the Sun's position (options A and B).
