Answer: this is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The regions closest to the equator receive the most direct sunlight because the light is arriving at an angle close to 0°. As a result, a lesser area is illuminated and so there is greater solar irradiance. The regions nearest to the poles receive sunlight at more of an angle, resulting in a larger area of illumination and therefore less solar irradiance.
