The Earth's tilt causes seasons. When the northern hemisphere (where New York is) is tilted away from the Sun, it receives less direct sunlight, leading to colder temperatures (winter). The Earth's distance from the Sun has a minor effect on seasons compared to tilt. The Earth is tilted on its axis (so the option about no tilt is wrong), and when tilted towards the Sun, it's summer in the northern hemisphere.
