B Correct answer
Explanation

Angle = |30H - 5.5M|. H=8, M=25. Angle = |30*8 - 5.5*25| = |240 - 137.5| = 102.5 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the clock angle formula, theta equals the absolute value of 30 times the hour minus 5.5 times the minutes. Substituting 8 for the hour and 25 for the minutes gives the absolute value of 240 minus 137.5. This difference calculates to 102.5 degrees, making the result 102.5 degrees.
