A Correct answer
Explanation

During World War II, Britain implemented 'Double Summer Time' (BDST - British Double Summer Time), setting clocks two hours ahead of GMT instead of the usual one hour for summer. This was done to maximize daylight hours for wartime production and reduce blackout periods during the longer summer evenings.
