Answer: D. 9 192 631 770 times the period of vibration of radiation from the cesium-133 atom.

Explanation: The SI second is defined as exactly 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. Earlier definitions used Earth's rotation/day or year, but the current SI standard uses the cesium atomic transition.
