B Correct answer
Explanation

Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates clockwise (retrograde rotation) when viewed from above the Sun's north pole. All other planets including Earth rotate counter-clockwise. This unique characteristic is due to Venus's unusual rotation pattern, possibly caused by a massive impact in its early history.
