Vedclass · Answer

(C) An inertial frame of reference is one that is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity (zero acceleration).Since the Earth revolves around the Sun and rotates about its own axis,it possesses centripetal acceleration in both cases.Because the Earth is an accelerating frame,any reference frame attached to it is non-inertial.Therefore,both the revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the rotation of the Earth about its axis contribute to it being a non-inertial frame.Thus,the correct option is $C$.
