The Southern Hemisphere experiences its longest days during the summer solstice, which occurs around December 21-22. Because the Northern Hemisphere is on the opposite side of the Earth, it experiences its shortest days during this time, which is the winter solstice. Therefore, the longest days in the Southern Hemisphere coincide with the shortest days in the Northern Hemisphere, which occurs around June 21-22. Therefore, the correct answer is C, winter solstice.
