Solution

The correct option is D Tilted
Mercury, Venus and Jupiter have slightly tilted axis. But their axis of rotation is inclined to the orbital motion near zero or 180 degrees, so that their axis of rotation is more or less perpendicular to their orbit. Due to slightly tilted axis, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter do not have any season.
