70% to pass

Daylight savings time is a form of zone time that adopts the time _______________.

A one zone to the west
B two zones to the east
C one zone to the east
D two zones to the west
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) one zone to the east. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a form of zone time that adopts the time one zone to the east of the standard time zone. This means that during DST, clocks are moved one hour forward, effectively shifting the time zone one hour ahead. This is done to take advantage of the additional daylight hours during the spring and summer months. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the shift in time zones that occurs during Daylight Saving Time. Option A) and D) involve a shift in the opposite direction, while Option B) describes a shift of two zones, which is not the case for DST.
