Winter
B
Spring
C
Fall
D
Summer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Statement 1: We experience summer and winter when the northern and southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun.

Detailed explanation-2: -The seasons in Earth’s Northern Hemisphere are always opposite those in the Southern Hemisphere. This means that at the northern summer solstice, North America will experience summer, and winter will start in in the Southern Hemisphere. Around December 21, the Northern Hemisphere tilts the farthest away from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -For the Northern Hemisphere, the axis points most toward the sun in June (specifically around June 21), and away from the sun around December 21. This corresponds to the Winter and Summer Solstice (solstice is Latin for “the sun stands").
