It's false for more than one reason.
1) (And the one that applies to your homework question, I am sure.) A leap year is (sort of) a measure of time, not distance. A light year is a measure of distance.
2) 1900 was not a leap year. Century years (those ending in "00") must be divisible by 400 to be leap years. Thus, 1900 is not a leap year but 2000 was.
Also, for jasx501, February never has 30 days. February in a leap year has 29 days.
ADDENDUM
There's that echo, again...

A light year is a measurement of distance. 1900 was not a leap year. Leap years are only in centuries evenly divisible by 4, e.g. 1600, 2000, 2400, 2800, etc. 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years on the Gregorian calendar. 2100, 2200 and 2300 will not be leap years either.

A leap year is measured by time. NOT distance. every year there are 365 1/4days or 365 and 6 hours per year so we combine the 6 hours times 4 (years) which makes a day. which is a measure of time and now you have a leap year.

True. Light year is a measure of distance. One light year is teh distance travelled by light in a year at a speed of 3 x 10 ^ 8 m/sec
