A is probably the best answer but change in position isn't needed for continuation of the current cycle of glaciation and interglacials.
Uniformitarianism is always a good principle to understand the past. It would tend to be of limited value in understanding why our climate moves into and out of periods of glaciation. A study of the variations in orbit and axis of rotation are more relevant.
