Solution

The correct option is C Obtuse angle
In one hour, minute hand covers 360º and hour hand covers 30º. At 4 o'clock angle between hours and minutes hand is 120º. So, the type of angle formed between the long hand and short hand of a clock at 4 o'clock in the afternoon will be an obtuse angle.
