B Correct answer
Explanation

At 4:00, the hour hand is at 4 and the minute hand is at 12. Each hour mark represents 30 degrees (360/12). The angle is 4 * 30 = 120 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the standard clock angle formula, the angle is calculated as 30 times the hours minus 11 divided by 2 times the minutes. Substituting the values gives 30 multiplied by 4 minus 5.5 multiplied by 0, resulting in 120 minus 0, which equals 120 degrees.
