d. Sunita Williams

ANSWER: Scott Kelly
 
US astronaut Scott Kelly broke the record for most time spent in space for a United States national at 383 days. He is more than halfway through a yearly mission at ISS and has set the record for the longest single US space mission. His 500 plus days in total in orbit will be one of the longest durations for which an astronaut has stayed in space. Currently, the longest duration of space travel is held by Russian Gennady Padalka at 879 days in space.
