E Correct answer
Explanation

Isaac Newton served as Member of Parliament for Cambridge University in two separate periods: 1689-1690 and 1701-1702. The first term was approximately one year, which is why '1 year' is the most accurate numeric answer. Newton was indeed a politician, though his parliamentary service was brief and not very active.
