Respuesta :

Answer:

C. The new perihelion will be closer to the sun and the aphelion will be unchanged.

Explanation:

The perihelion is the situation in southern hemisphere where it receives more light during the summer. Aphelion is the situation in Northern hemisphere where it retains heat during the winter seasons. When the spacecraft is orbiting in the sun it will make a new aphelion which will be unchanged in the orbit.
