C Correct answer
Explanation

At 2:00, the hour hand is at 2 and the minute hand is at 12. Each hour mark represents 30 degrees (360/12). Thus, 2 * 30 = 60 degrees.

AI explanation

The hour hand moves 30 degrees for every hour on the clock. At 2:00, the minute hand is exactly at 12 and the hour hand is exactly at 2. The angle between them is 2 x 30 = 60 degrees.
