  3. 90 degrees
  4. 180 degrees

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 90 degrees

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: C) 90 degrees 📚 Explanation: Step by step solving: 1. A full clock face is 360 degrees divided into 12 hours, meaning each hour gap is 30 degrees (360 ÷ 12). 2. At 3:00, the minute hand points exactly at 12, and the hour hand points exactly at 3. 3. The gap is 3 hour units. 3 × 30 degrees = 90 degrees (a perfect right angle).
