B.
polar climate zone, and it receives the least amount of solar energy of the three climate zones.
C.
longitudinal climate zone, and it receives a moderate amount of solar energy compared with the other two climate zones.
D.
tropical climate zone, and it receives the greatest amount of solar energy of the three climate zones.
