Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 2) more snow would probably fall during the winter in polar regions would probably not be true during a period when the earth's orbital tilt is at a minimum.

During such a period, the earth's axis is less tilted away from the sun, resulting in less variation in solar radiation received between summer and winter. This would mean that there would be less of a temperature difference between polar regions and the equator, leading to less snowfall in polar regions.
