Which of the following?:
A. The tilt of the Earth's axis causes one side of the Earth to be closer to the Sun than the other in the summer, on average.
B. The Earth's orbit is ellipitical, so that the whole Earth is closer to the Sun at certain times of year.
C. The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Sun to appear at different declinations (north-south position in the sky) at different times of years, and this causes more direct heating of the Earth's surface in summer than in winter.
