C Correct answer
Explanation

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hour = 360 degree

Angle traced by it in 3.25 hrs = (360/12 * 41/12) degree = 205/2 degree

Angle traced by min hand in 60 min = 360 degree

Angle traced by it in 25 min = (360 * 25 / 60)degree = 150 degree

Required angle = (150 - 205/2) = 95/2 degree
