C Correct answer
Explanation

Angle = |30H - 5.5M|. H=3, M=40. Angle = |30*3 - 5.5*40| = |90 - 220| = 130 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the clock angle formula, we calculate the absolute difference between 30 multiplied by the hours and 11 divided by 2 multiplied by the minutes. Substituting 3 for the hours and 40 for the minutes gives the absolute value of 90 minus 220, which equals 130 degrees.
