Answer: The correct answer is option D. The Uranian rotation axis produces some extreme seasonal effects.

Explanation:

Uranus is the only planet in our solar system whose equator is nearly at a right angle to its path of movement (orbit) with a tilt of 97.77°.

Uranus lies almost sideways with respect to the plane of its orbit of movement.

It has four seasons like earth, the tilt gives the planet its seasons.
