The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct unit of time from the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze each option - **Option 1: Light year** A light year is a unit of distance. It is defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (approximately 365.25 days). Therefore, this is not a unit of time. - **Option 2: Perseic** The term "Perseic" is not a standard unit of measurement in physics. However, if it refers to "parsec," it is also a unit of distance used in astronomy to measure large distances to astronomical objects. Hence, this is not a unit of time. - **Option 3: Leap year** A leap year is a time measurement that occurs every four years to help synchronize the calendar year with the solar year. A leap year has 366 days instead of the usual 365 days. Since it is a measure of time, this could be a valid option. - **Option 4: Angstrom** An angstrom is a unit of length equal to 10^-10 meters. It is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light and atomic scales. Therefore, this is also not a unit of time. ### Step 2: Conclusion From the analysis, the only option that represents a unit of time is **Option 3: Leap year**. ### Final Answer The unit of time is **Leap year**. ---
