Tasha is studying polar and tropical climates on Earth. She recorded the following in her notebook: Summer temperatures are much higher than winter temperatures in polar climates.
Summer and winter temperatures are similar in tropical climates.
Tasha wonders why the tropical climate has similar temperatures throughout the year, but the polar climate temperatures differ greatly.

Which of the following arguments best supports why temperatures in the polar climates differ more than tropical climates throughout the year?

A. The tropical regions have longer days and shorter nights than polar regions, so they receive less solar energy.

B. In their orbit around the Sun, polar regions are closer to the Sun in summer and farther away in winter.

C. The angle of the axis causes the polar regions to be tilted more, either toward or away from direct sunlight.

D. Most regions with tropical climates are located near large bodies of water that make the climate more even.
