Correct Answer:
A. Venus
Explanation:
Venus is the planet commonly referred to as both the morning star and the evening star. This classification occurs because Venus is the brightest celestial object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon. Due to its orbit being closer to the Sun than Earth's, it is only visible shortly before sunrise in the east or shortly after sunset in the west. When it appears in the eastern sky at dawn, it is called the morning star, and when it appears in the western sky at dusk, it is known as the evening star.
