In this paragraph, at what time of day is the action taking place?

Except for a few pigeons, Central Park was deserted. Mist hung above the chilled grass. Patches of old snow, scattered here and there, looked like white puddles. The sun hung just above the horizon, casting red and orange streaks across low-hanging clouds. The portly, gray-haired gentleman jogging down the path looked out of place. For one thing, he was dressed in ordinary street clothes, not a sweat suit. Also, every few seconds, he looked anxiously back over his shoulder. Coming closer to me, I saw that his face was flushed. He was panting, almost gasping. Abruptly, looking this way and that, he moved behind a tree. Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting heavily. After a moment, he poked his head out to survey the path. It was still empty, except for a squirrel that dashed across the path like a furry dart. I checked my watch.
It was now 7:30. Mentally marking the time, I aimed my camera toward the man's face.

The correct answer to this question is letter D. Around sunrise.

Around sunrise due to the time. I would say it's around sunrise, just because the sun is usually out in the sky already by 7:30, and yet it is hanging just above the horizon in the story.


These are the following options:
A. Around midnight
B. Around sunset
C. Around noon
D. Around sunrise
