Solution
The correct option is C summer Different areas during the Earth's revolution receive different amount of sunlight. This happens due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, resulting into the four seasons. The northern hemisphere faces the Sun at a higher angle than the southern hemisphere when the North Pole tilts towards the Sun. The northern hemisphere therefore gets hotter.
