B. $50^{\circ}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sun be x degrees above the horizon.

We have been given that a skyscraper is 396 meters tall. At a certain time of day, it casts a shadow that is 332 meters long.

We can see from our attachment that skyscraper and shadow forms a right triangle with respect to ground.

We know that tangent relates the opposite side of right triangle to its adjacent, so we can set an equation as:

$\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}$

$\text{tan}(x)=\frac{396}{332}$

Using arctan we will get:

$x=\text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{396}{332})$

$x=50.02407525854^{\circ}\approx 50^{\circ}$

Therefore, the sun is 50 degrees above the horizon at that time.
