D Correct answer
Explanation

Earth completes one orbit around the sun in approximately 365.24 days, which is why we have a leap year every 4 years to account for the extra 0.24 days. Options A, B, and C all represent 1 day (24 hours = 1,440 minutes = 1 day), which is Earth's rotation on its axis, not its revolution around the sun.
