Okay, I didn't read the question right the first time.... The answer would be A, because with a less tilted axis the sun's rays would hit any given area at a more consistent angle, decreasing the difference between summer and winter.

Its the tilt that gives us seasons... as the tilt makes on hemisphere closer to the sun half the year, and further the next. If you decrease the tilt of the axis, then you are making the variation of seasons less distinct. So places in the Northern Hemisphere for instance would be slightly warmer (as they would be closer to the sun) in the winter and slightly cooler in the summer (as they would be further away).

The difference would decrease closer to the equator and increase the closer you get to either of the poles.

not really, except the climatic changes-though seasons would have remained same but we would have uniform seasons around the world and slight day and night differences.
