Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
2012 is divisible by 4 and is not a century year, so it is a leap year.
1600 and 2000 are divisible by 400, so they are leap years.
1800 is a century year not divisible by 400, so it is not a leap year.
Worth noting
2000 is the year students most often strike out, but 2000 is divisible by 400 and was a leap year.
