The word year is also used for periods loosely associated with, but not identical to, the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Similarly, year can mean the orbital period of any planet; for example, a Martian year and a Venusian year are examples of the time a planet takes to transit one complete orbit. The term can also be used in reference to any long period or cycle, such as the Great Year.[2]

Hey there!

Well, you've not actually made your question clear. You need to tell whether you are talking about the Earth's revolution or rotation period. Since, there's no option for the rotation period (which is, 24 hours = 1 hour). So, I'm guessing it's the Earth's Revolution period = 365 days = A) 1 year.

Hope it helps ya!
