B)There is a latitudinal energy imbalance,with positive values at higher latitudes and lower at higher latitudes.

There is indeed a latitudinal energy imbalance, with more positive net radiation at lower latitudes and more negative net radiation at higher latitudes. This is due to the fact that the tropics receive more energy from the sun than they radiate back to space, while the polar regions radiate more energy than they receive from the sun.
