Solution

The correct option is B

24


A century is of 100 years. In a century, there will be 24 years each of 366 days(leap years) and 76 years each of 365 days. Also, a century year is a lap iff if the year number is divisible by 400. So there will definitely be 24 leap years in a century as the most general case.
