Solution

The correct option is D 05:00 pm
Departure time = 18:00 hrs
For a time after 12 pm, while converting it from 24-hour format to 12-hour format, we need to subtract 12 from it.

$\Rightarrow$ Departure time in 12-hour clock= (18:00-12:00) pm = 06:00 p.m

Since, he has to leave his house one hour earlier, he has to leave his house at 05:00 pm.
