Solution

The correct option is A
summer
Different areas during the Earth's revolution receive varying amount of sunlight 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.
