D.

Answer :

"Stars in the sky appear to move slowly from east to west" is true about the movement of stars in the night sky.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The Sun, Moon and stars all are understood to wake up in the East and set in the West direction, as every 24 hours the Earth rotates on its axis in the reverse direction from West to East. Consequently, the acceleration we witness is not their action, but ourselves as we go zipping onto the Earth's surface to the North, and these gravitational anomalies fly over us. For illustrating this point, the North Star named as Polaris in Ursa Minor is useful.
