Capitalize family titles when they are used as names. For example, "Where are you going, Dad?" Do nott capitalize family titles when they come after a possessive noun or pronoun or an article. For example, My sister teaches at the university.

C is incorrect. You do capitalize the first word of every sentence, and each of the seasons is a proper noun. Each of the months is a proper noun, too, but not the days. For example, you would not capitalize "fifth" in, "August fifth" or "first" in "the first of February."
