Solution

The correct option is A revolution
The motion of the earth around the sun in its orbit is known as revolution. The earth takes 365.26 days to complete one revolution. The different seasons we experience in a year is a result of this revolution. At the same time the earth's motion about its own axis is termed as rotation of the earth.
