  • A 15 hours
  • B 4 hours
  • C 40 minutes
  • D 4 minutes
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude, so every degree of longitude is equal to 4 minutes of time. This is because there are 24 hours in a day and 360 divided by 24 is 15. Therefore, the difference in time between two longitudes is approximately 4 minutes. The other options are incorrect.
