The Earth without rotational movement would result into 1. no sun-rise and sun-set. 2. no occurrence of day and night cycle. 3. only one season. Select the correct answer using the code given below

The Earth's rotation on its axis from West to East is the primary cause of the diurnal cycle, including sunrise, sunset, and the regular occurrence of day and night [3]. If rotation ceased, one side of the Earth would perpetually face the Sun while the other remained in darkness, effectively ending the 24-hour day-night cycle and the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky [1]. However, seasons are not caused by rotation; they are the result of the Earth's revolution around the Sun combined with its axial tilt [4]. Even without rotation, the Earth would still revolve around the Sun, and its tilted axis would still cause different hemispheres to receive varying amounts of solar energy throughout the year, maintaining seasonal changes [5]. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct consequences of a lack of rotation.
