ANSWER

C. 1 light year

Step-by-step explanation

We want to identify the measurement that is not correct regarding the distance between us and the sun.

The distance between the center of the earth and the center of the sun is equal to one astronomical unit. This is equivalent to 149.6 million kilometers (approximately 150 million kilometers).

One light-year is a unit of measurement that describes the distance that a beam of light travels in one earth-year.

Hence, the correct option (incorrect measurement) is option C.
