C Correct answer
Explanation

Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction (clockwise when viewed from above its north pole) compared to most other planets in the solar system. This is called retrograde rotation and makes Venus unique among the major planets. Uranus also has unusual rotation but it's tipped on its side rather than purely clockwise.
