    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours.

     

    (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clcok only).

     

    So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times.
