Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A describes a habitual yearly fact, so simple present 'shines' (IV). B has the past marker 'yesterday', so simple past 'shone' (I). C describes an action in progress at a past moment, so past continuous 'was shining' (II). D has 'since this morning', requiring present perfect continuous 'has been shining' (III). Hence A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.
