Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: by

Explanation: The correct preposition is ‘by’ when we refer to time shown on a watch or clock. A. by ✅ – correct: “It is 9 o’clock by my watch.” B. in ❌ – used for months/years/time periods, not correct here. C. at ❌ – used for a point of time (at 9 o’clock), but not with my watch. D. into ❌ – completely wrong in this context. ✔ Therefore, the right sentence is: “It is 9 o’clock by my watch.”
