B Correct answer
Explanation

Earth's shape (being an oblate spheroid) is not a factor that affects climate. Climate is influenced by distance from the sun (solar radiation), Earth's tilt (causes seasons), and distance from the equator (latitude affecting solar angle and temperature distribution). The spherical shape itself doesn't vary between regions.
