alleryWhich of these century years is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar?
A1800
B2000
C1900
D2100
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 2000
1. Recall the idea: How Is Time Measured in History?.
2. The source says: "only 2000 is a leap year".
3. 2000 is correct. Century years are leap years only if divisible by 400, so 1800, 1900 and 2100 are not.
