Correct option is D)
Variations in the length of day and night time from season to season on the earth's surface is due to the axial tilt of earth's rotation axis with respect to its orbital axis. This causes variations in the intensity of Sun's rays falling at a given place over the span of a year leading to variations in day and night time.
