{'planet': [4, 0, 1, 1], 'jupiter': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'maximum time': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'venus': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'mars': [1, 1, 1, 1], 'revolution': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'earth': [0, 1, 1, 1]}

The revolution time around the Sun varies for each planet depending on its distance from the Sun.

Option 1 is Earth, which completes one revolution around the Sun in approximately 365.25 days, thus it`s not the longest.

Option 2 is Jupiter. It takes the longest or maximum time among the listed options to complete one revolution around the Sun, approximately 11.86 Earth years. This is because it has a much larger orbit than the other planets listed.

Option 3 is Mars. It takes around 1.88 Earth years to complete a revolution. It`s longer than Earth but less than Jupiter.

Option 4 is Venus which actually has the shortest revolution time among the options listed, approximately 224.7 Earth days.

So among these options, Jupiter (option 2) takes the maximum time for one revolution around the Sun.
