Solution

The correct option is D Slightly longer than $29$ days, month
The time taken for one revolution of moon is a few hours longer than 29 days. But for ease of calculation, these hours have been divided amongst the months to give us months having 30 and 31 days. It takes one complete revolution of the moon around the Earth to have the next new moon day after the previous one. This period is called a month.
