The correct answer is Fall or Winter.

The first day of Fall is the day Autumnal Equinox, which is the time when the Sun's path crosses the Equator, thus meaning the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun.

The first day of Winter is the Winter Solstice, which is the day the Sun's path reaches the farthest south.  

The first day of Spring, the vernal (sp) equinox, is the day the Sun's path once again crosses into the Northern Hemisphere.
