{'march midday sun': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'june midday sun': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'december midday sun': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'september midday sun': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sun': [3, 0, 0, 6], 'month position': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'capricorn': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'equator': [10, 0, 6, 7], 'arctic circle': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'tropic': [2, 0, 2, 1]}

Option 1: June - Midday Sun overhead at Tropic of Cancer

This option is correctly matched because during the month of June, the Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer. This occurs during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

Option 2: December - Midday Sun overhead at Tropic of Capricorn

This option is correctly matched because during the month of December, the Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn. This occurs during the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

Option 3: March - Midday Sun overhead on Equator

This option is correctly matched because during the month of March, the Sun is directly overhead on the Equator. This occurs during the equinox, where day and night are of equal length.

Option 4: September - Midday Sun overhead on Arctic Circle

This option is NOT correctly matched because during the month of September, the Sun is NOT overhead on the Arctic Circle. Rather, it is overhead on the Equator during the September equinox. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Alert - correct answer should be: 4. September - Midday Sun overhead on Equator
