Detailed Solution

Concept: Considering the simple fact that it takes the earth 24 hours to complete one rotation and that its angular frequency can be calculated using the formula frequency = 1/(time required to complete one revolution) , we can use this equation to calculate the earth's angular velocity.
The Earth rotates once every 24 hours.
Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation, which is 24 hours = 24×60×60 = 86400 secs
Earth's rotational frequency=f=1t=186400sec-1
Earth’s angular velocity= ω=2πf=2π86400rad/sec
Hence, 2π86400rad/sec is the angular velocity.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
