This would be easy if you knew what some prefixes mean. Mega means 1 million. 1000 is Kilo.
24 hours in 1 day times 24 days in 1 year times 4 years plus 24 hours in the extra day in the leap year = 35,064. That would round to 35,000, so the answer is A.
35 mega-hours would be 35 million hours- too much.

I got 35.040 too so neither A or D is right. But I would round it off at 35000. Never heard of a mega hour.

365 days times 24 hours times 4 years is 35,040. Looks like they rounded it down to 35,000. A

35 million hours? Probably not.
4 * 365 * 24 = ??
That's not anywhere close to 35 million, I assure you.

365x4=1460 days
1460x24hrs=35,040 hrs
so the answer is closer to A
