Bhaskaracharya
💡 Explanation:
Bhaskaracharya (Bhaskara II, c. 1114-1185 CE) calculated the time taken for Earth to orbit the sun in his work Siddhanta Shiromani. His calculation of 365.2588 days was remarkably accurate for his era. The other options are either variations of his name or incorrect associations.
