Based on the model, Buenos Aires is currently facing away from the Sun which means it is experiencing winter. When Troy visits his family in Buenos Aires, it will be winter

Option C is correct

Seasons are caused by the Earth's tilt and its orbit around the Sun. The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. This means that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year.

Buenos Aires is located in the Southern Hemisphere. So, when Buenos Aires is facing away from the Sun, it is experiencing winter. This is because Buenos Aires is receiving less direct sunlight than it would be if it were facing towards the Sun.
