- Athe speed of rotation of the Earth
- Bpollution
- Ccloudiness
- Dthe inclination of the Earth about its axis
Explanation
Seasonal variations in solar energy arise because the Earth's axis is inclined at about 23.5 deg to the orbital plane, changing the angle of incidence and day length through the year. The speed of rotation, pollution and cloudiness do not cause the seasons. Hence the inclination of the Earth's axis is the answer.
