D Correct answer
Explanation

It takes approximately 8.4 minutes (8 minutes 24 seconds) for sunlight to reach Earth. This is calculated based on the average distance between Earth and Sun (about 150 million kilometers) and the speed of light (about 300,000 km/s). The exact time varies slightly due to Earth's elliptical orbit.
