Which sentence correctly uses the intransitive verb ‘rises’ rather than the transitive verb ‘raises’?

Explanation

‘Rise’ is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take a direct object and simply describes something moving upward on its own, as in ‘the sun rises.’ This differs from ‘raise,’ a transitive verb that requires a direct object, as in ‘she raises her hand,’ meaning she lifts something else, making ‘rises’ the correct choice for describing the sun’s own movement.
