Explanation:

To determine which planet takes approximately twice as long as Earth to revolve around the Sun, we recall the orbital periods: Earth's orbital period is about 1 year. Mars has an orbital period of about 1.88 years (approximately twice Earth's 1 - year period). Venus has a shorter period (≈0.62 years), Jupiter (≈11.86 years), and Saturn (≈29.46 years) have much longer periods. So Mars is the correct choice.

Answer:

B. Mars
