D Correct answer
Explanation

A Mahayuga in Hindu cosmology spans 12,000 divine years, which equals 4,320,000 human years (1 divine year = 360 human years). It consists of four yugas: Satya Yuga (4,800 divine years), Treta Yuga (3,600), Dvapara Yuga (2,400), and Kali Yuga (1,200). The other options (1,200, 2,400, 4,800) represent individual yuga durations in divine years, not the complete Mahayuga cycle.
