A season is a subdivision of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight. Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface.

Solution

The sentence that could be eliminated without disturbing the flow and information of the paragraph is B "It is scientifically fascinating how bears and other animals instinctively know when to hibernate." This sentence is more of an opinion or an aside, rather than a factual piece of information about the seasons, the Earth's tilt, or the effects of these phenomena.
