In a picture taken in Northern Hemisphere, the sun shines on skyscrapers solely from the east. What's the picture's direction?

My son answered e), but Scantron marked him wrong. Why? Please show the steps. How should he deduce the answer?

  1. A picture was taken in the Northern Hemisphere (e.g. Canada), featuring two skyscrapers. You can clearly see sunlight coming from the right hand side of the picture, gleaming just the right side of these skyscrapers. No sunlight whatsoever glistens their left side. In what direction was this picture taken?

a) East
b) West
c) North
d) South
e) More information is needed to answer this question.
