Solution

The correct option is B 20
The Earth takes a total of 365.25 days to complete a full revolution around the Sun. Since the given time period has 7305 days, the number of revolutions of the Earth around the Sun would be 7305/ 365.25 = 20.

Alternatively, the Earth completes one revolution around the Sun in 1 year. Since the given time period is 20 years, the Earth would have achieved 20 revolutions.
