A. There would not be seasons.
Earth's seasons are caused by its 23.5° axial tilt, which changes the Sun's angle and daylight length at each latitude through the year. If the axis were not tilted, each location would receive essentially the same solar angle and day length year‑round (aside from tiny changes from Earth's orbital eccentricity), so no true seasonal changes in temperature and daylight.
