The description "370 miles per second (600 km/sec)" best relates to the Earth's movement as it "orbits the Sun." This is the average speed at which Earth travels around the Sun in its orbit. The other options relate to different types of movements, but this speed particularly corresponds to the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun.
