B Correct answer
Explanation

The Earth's SHAPE does not affect climate - the Earth is roughly spherical and this shape itself doesn't determine climate patterns. What DOES affect climate includes: distance from the sun (affects solar energy received), Earth's tilt (23.5° - causes seasons), distance from equator (latitude - determines climate zones). Other factors include ocean currents, altitude, and wind patterns. The spherical shape itself is not a climate-determining factor.
