A Correct answer
Explanation

A clock face has 12 numbers. A full revolution is 12 units. 1/4 of a revolution is 12 / 4 = 3 units. Starting at 5, moving 3 units clockwise leads to 5 + 3 = 8.

AI explanation

A full revolution on a clock represents 12 hours, so 1/4 of a revolution equals 3 hours. Starting from the 5 position and moving 3 hours clockwise means we add 3 to 5. The hour hand will stop at the 8 position.
