A Correct answer
Explanation

Clock hands overlap every 65 and 5/11 minutes. Between 11:00 and 5:00, the overlaps occur at approximately 12:00, 1:05, 2:10, 3:16, and 4:21. This counts as 5 occurrences.

AI explanation

The hands of a clock overlap exactly once every hour, usually a bit past the hour mark. Counting the overlaps for 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 gives a total of 5 overlaps. Therefore, between 11:00 and 5:00, the hands will overlap 5 times.
