Which option correctly identifies the SI unit symbol for time?

The time measurement in the SI system uses the base unit called the second, and its symbol is s. This is the standard symbol you should use when doing calculations or presenting data in SI terms. Minute, hour, and day are common time units, but they’re not the SI symbol for the base unit; they’re just larger units that can be converted to seconds (1 minute = 60 s, 1 hour = 3600 s, 1 day = 86400 s). So for the symbol of time in SI, use s.
