B - False
Winter is not primarily caused by the Earth's distance from the sun, but rather by the tilt of the Earth's axis. During winter in a given hemisphere, that hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, resulting in colder temperatures. The Earth's distance from the sun varies throughout the year, but this variation has a much smaller effect on seasonal temperatures compared to the axial tilt.
