The reasoning that best supports the claim is: "When the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, the Southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun." This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis is what causes the change in seasons, rather than the distance to the sun. When the Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, it receives less direct sunlight and experiences winter, while the Southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and receives more direct sunlight, leading to summer.
