B Correct answer
Explanation

The qq() operator in Perl creates a double-quoted string where variables are interpolated with their values. Since $var contains 'hello', the string becomes 'It's time to say hello' rather than literally displaying the variable name. Option A would only occur with single quotes or no interpolation.

AI explanation

In Perl, qq() is simply an alternate delimiter syntax for double-quoted strings, so it performs the same variable interpolation that regular double quotes do. Since $var holds hello, it gets substituted directly into the string, producing 'It's time to say hello'.
