Explanation

In French, time is typically expressed idiomatically rather than literally. 10:45 is most commonly said as 'onze heures moins le quart' (11 minus a quarter), similar to English 'quarter to eleven'. Option A's literal translation is grammatically correct but less natural, while option C's 'moins quinze' is less standard than 'moins le quart'.
