Solution

The correct option is B 3 hours
We know that the actual time difference between the early sunrise and actual sunrise is about 2 minutes due to atmospheric refraction. So we see actual sunrise at 6:00 AM i.e. two minutes after early sunrise.
So, actual amount of time from actual sunrise to 9:00 AM is 3 hours
