The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.
C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
C = 24,912 miles
From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.

A rotation is when the earth turns in a circle on it's axis. A revolution is the oblong path the the earth is constantly moving in around the sun. A revolution takes 365.25 days where as a rotation happens in 24 hours. <span />
