To determine which month in the United States has the shortest length of daylight, you can refer to an astronomical almanac or use an online source that provides data on sunrise and sunset times. These sources will have precise information on the duration of daylight hours for each month.

Alternatively, you can use logic and general knowledge about seasonal variations in daylight length. In the United States, the shortest length of daylight occurs in the winter months, specifically around the winter solstice. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, causing shorter days and longer nights.

Since December is a winter month, it is likely to have the shortest length of daylight. Thus, the correct answer is c) December.

Please note that the exact length of daylight can vary based on geographical location.
