Answer: B. the curve of earth

Explanation:

The curve of the Earth is tilted as it rotates around the sun. This means that one side will receive more direct sunlight than the other side some parts of the year.

The intensity of solar energy received is directly proportional to the amount of sunlight received so the side receiving more sunlight will receive more solar energy.

This is the same reason Earth has different seasons.
