Question

How do we establish a standard time interval in physics to establish the exact basis of the second?

From the rotation rate of the Earth on its axis

From the orbital period of Earth around the Sun

From the mechanical spin of a standard metal cylinder

By the natural frequencies in an atom of the element cesium.

a.

From the rotation rate of the Earth on its axis

b.
