A1 only
B1 and 2 only
C2 and 3 only
D1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Day and night, and the apparent rising and setting of the Sun, are caused by Earth's rotation, so without rotation there would be no sunrise or sunset (1) and no day-night cycle (2). Seasons, however, result from Earth's revolution combined with its axial tilt, so they would still occur. The answer is 1 and 2 only — option B.
