The correct option is C 5:30 hrs fast
5:30hrs fastIndia's time zone is UTC/GMT (Coordinated Universal Time/Greenwich Mean Time) +5.5 hours. It's referred to as Indian Standard Time (IST).
What's unusual is that there is only one time zone across the whole of India. The time zone is calculated according to the longitude of 82.5° E. at Shankargarh Fort in Mirzapur (in the Allahabad district of Uttar Pradesh), which was picked as the central meridian for India. It's also important to note is that Daylight Saving Time doesn't operate in India.
