D Correct answer
Explanation

Indian Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). India uses a single time zone based on the 82.5°E longitude, which passes through Allahabad. This means when it's noon at GMT, it's 5:30 PM in India. Option C is wrong because it uses a negative sign, and options A and B have incorrect hour values.
