\nThe correct option is B, indicating there are 3 leap years among the given years.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, unless it is a century year. Century years are leap years only if they are divisible by 400.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe given years are 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, and 2400.
\n– 1600 is divisible by 400 (1600 \/ 400 = 4), so it is a leap year.
\n– 1700 is divisible by 100 but not by 400 (1700 \/ 400 = 4.25), so it is not a leap year.
\n– 1800 is divisible by 100 but not by 400 (1800 \/ 400 = 4.5), so it is not a leap year.
\n– 1900 is divisible by 100 but not by 400 (1900 \/ 400 = 4.75), so it is not a leap year.
\n– 2000 is divisible by 400 (2000 \/ 400 = 5), so it is a leap year.
\n– 2100 is divisible by 100 but not by 400 (2100 \/ 400 = 5.25), so it is not a leap year.
\n– 2200 is divisible by 100 but not by 400 (2200 \/ 400 = 5.5), so it is not a leap year.
\n– 2300 is divisible by 100 but not by 400 (2300 \/ 400 = 5.75), so it is not a leap year.
\n– 2400 is divisible by 400 (2400 \/ 400 = 6), so it is a leap year.
\nThe leap years in the list are 1600, 2000, and 2400. There are 3 leap years.
