70% to passDaylight savings time is a form of zone time that adopts the time _______________.
A
two zones to the west
B
two zones to the east
C
one zone to the west
D
one zone to the east
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) one zone to the east. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a form of zone time that adopts the time one zone to the east of the standard time zone. This means that during DST, clocks are set forward by one hour, effectively shifting the time zone one hour ahead. This is done to take advantage of the extra daylight hours during the summer months. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the shift in time zone that occurs during Daylight Saving Time. Option A and C would move the time zone in the wrong direction, while Option B would shift the time zone by two zones, which is not the case for DST.
