B Correct answer
Explanation

The angle between the hands of a clock is given by |30H - 5.5M|. For 7:10, the angle is |30(7) - 5.5(10)| = |210 - 55| = 155 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the clock angle formula, the hour hand position is 7 multiplied by 30 degrees plus 10 multiplied by 0.5 degrees, giving 215 degrees. The minute hand position is 10 multiplied by 6 degrees, giving 60 degrees. The absolute difference between the two positions is 155 degrees, which is the angle between the hands.
