Rotation of earth of its axis
Answer
C.
Both A and B
D.
None of the above

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Changes in Seasons occur due to the rotation of Earth on its axis.
Our Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4 degrees and different parts of the earth receive more or less amount of solar radiation at different angles.
When the earth's orbital plane is tilted towards the sun, it's summer for that hemisphere and when it's away, it's winter for them.
