Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sun is directly overhead at the equator (0° latitude) during the equinoxes, around March 21 and September 23. As Lima is located at 12°S latitude, the sun can only be directly overhead between these dates as it moves towards the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S latitude) until the December solstice. February 4 falls within this range, making it the correct choice.
