C Correct answer
Explanation

Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates clockwise (retrograde rotation) as viewed from above its north pole. This is unusual because most planets, including Earth, rotate counter-clockwise. Uranus also has retrograde rotation but Venus is the classic answer to this question. Note: 'satrun' appears to be a typo for Saturn.
