The correct answer is:
C. 24 time zones
The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation of 360 degrees.
Hence, the world is divided into 24 standard time zones, each covering roughly 15 degrees of longitude (since 360° ÷ 24 = 15° per hour).
Each time zone represents one hour difference from its neighboring zones.
That is why we generally say there are 24 time zones around the world.
