• C. $5:02$
• D. $4:10$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $4:10$

Let us find the time on the clock.

• The hour hand is between $4$ and $5$.
• Number of hours $=4$
• The minute hand is at $2$.
• The minute hand of the clock takes $5$ minutes to move between two consecutive numbers.
• Time taken to move from $12$ to $2=2\times 5$ minutes
  $=10$ minutes
• The time is $4:10$.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
