Here it is.
I found that the Sunrise and Sunset times depend on what coordinates you have specified for location in the Sun Dialog (of course).

Thanks Laszlo:
A Competency Challenge question had me thinking they were different.

It asked what wasn't a sun study option. And listed (I think):
Lat./Long., Date, Season or City.

Yes, I know which question you are talking about.
And the correct answer is Season, right? There is no such option in ArchiCAD.

That was my guess.
It got me wondering though, if the PC Sun Study Window were different than the Mac. Date is the only setting in the Sun Study Window.
City is selected in the Sun Window and Lat./Long. are set in the Cities Window. AFAIK

If you want sun studies with the seasons, leaves falling off and budding again after the snow has melted, the solution is Artlantis Studio 2.

Yes, you are correct as to where each of these options are set.

The question says:

What is not an option for setting Sun Study parameters?

And the four possible answers do not specify where those options may be set, it just lists four possible options.
