Solution

The correct option is D Due to the revolution of the Earth.
Revolution of the Earth around the sun and its axial tilt are major reasons for changes in seasons. The axis of the earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees and makes an angle of 66.5 degrees with the orbit. Regions receiving more sunlight experience summer while the regions receiving less sunlight experience winter.
