Solution

The correct option is A winter
Actually the axis (line passing through North Pole center and South pole of the earth) is a bit tilted such that when the Northern hemisphere is closer to the sun, southern hemisphere is further and vice versa. Due to the difference in the closeness to the sun, both hemisphere experience opposite weather conditions. In addition to the Earth's tiltedness, Earth's rotation around the sun helps in this phenomenon. Option B is correct.
