A
Norway
B
Japan
C
Alaska
D
Finland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Land of Midnight Sun: The country, Norway has acquired the name of the Land of Midnight Sun, as Norway experiences the natural phenomena called the midnight sun because some parts of the country experience sunshine throughout the day. It is situated on the northern end of Europe.

Detailed explanation-2: -The earth is rotating at a tilted axis relative to the sun, and during the summer months, the North Pole is angled towards our star. That’s why, for several weeks, the sun never sets above the Arctic Circle. Svalbard is the place in Norway where the midnight sun occurs for the longest period.

Detailed explanation-3: -From late May to late July, the sun never completely descends beneath the horizon in areas north of the Arctic Circle (hence Norway’s description as the “ Land of the Midnight Sun"), and the rest of the country experiences up to 20 hours of daylight per day.
