Answer: (d) The axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit.
The axis of rotation of the Earth is not perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. It is this tilt in its axis of rotation while it revolves around the sun that is responsible for the change of seasons on the Earth.
