The correct response is **the Earth's tilt on its axis**.
The tilt of the Earth's axis (approximately 23.5 degrees) causes different latitudes to receive sunlight at varying angles throughout the year, resulting in the changing seasons and varying intensity of sunlight at different locations on the planet.
