B Correct answer
Explanation

The hour hand moves from 12 to 6, which is 180 degrees. A right angle is 90 degrees. 180 / 90 = 2.

AI explanation

Moving from 12 to 6 covers half of the clock face, which is a straight line or 180 degrees. Since one right angle measures 90 degrees, the hour hand turns through 180 divided by 90, which equals 2 right angles.
