- A.
North
- B.

None of these
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
At 6:15 the minute hand points towards the number 3. Since number 3 is towards south it means that the clock is rotated 90° clockwise from its normal position.
At 9 O'clock, normally the hour hand points towards west (i.e., at 9). But in the rotated position it will face towards north.
Hence, option (a).
