B Correct answer
Explanation

A clock face is 360 degrees. Each hour mark is 30 degrees (360/12). At 3 o'clock, the hour hand is at 3 and the minute hand is at 12. The angle is 3 * 30 = 90 degrees.

AI explanation

At exactly 3 o'clock, the minute hand points to 12 and the hour hand points to 3. Using the clock angle formula, we calculate 30 multiplied by 3 minus 5.5 multiplied by 0, resulting in 90 degrees.
