B Correct answer
Explanation

At 4 o'clock, the hour hand is at 4 and the minute hand is at 12. Each hour mark represents 30 degrees (360/12). Thus, 4 * 30 = 120 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the clock angle formula, |30H - 5.5M|, we substitute H = 4 and M = 0. This gives |30(4) - 5.5(0)|, which equals 120. Therefore, the angle between the hour hand and minute hand is 120 degrees.
