Explanation

There are 24 hours in a day. Since you want to exclude Sunday, let's count the hours for the remaining 6 days:

Monday: 24 hours

Tuesday: 24 hours

Wednesday: 24 hours

Thursday: 24 hours

Friday: 24 hours

Saturday: 24 hours

Total hours: 6 days × 24 hours/day = 144 hours

So, the correct answer is: 144.
