Solution

The correct option is C $11$
The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours.

(Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clock only).

So between $6 : 00$ am to $6 : 00$ pm ( $12$ hours), $11$ times hands of a clock make a straight line.
