Answer:
B. The Earth is tilted neither toward or away from the Sun (tilt is side to side)
Explanation:
Because remember that the tilt and direction of Earth's axis of rotation is the same as Earth revolves around the sun. On the first day of fall, Earth is neither tilted toward nor away from the sun, causing the length of daylight and nighttime hours to be equal (12 hours) in both hemispheres.
