B Correct answer
Explanation

Earth's shape (being spherical/oblate spheroid) does not significantly affect climate - it's relatively constant. The factors that DO affect climate include: distance from the sun (affects solar radiation received), Earth's tilt (23.5° - causes seasons), and distance from equator (latitude - determines temperature zones). Earth's shape itself is not a variable climate factor.
