The best response that describes the impact of the Sun on the Earth's seasons is:

D. The Earth's tilt causes the Earth to experience seasons.

The tilt of the Earth's axis (approximately 23.5 degrees) relative to its orbit around the Sun is what leads to the changing seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
