  • A4:25
  • B3:35
  • C8:25
  • D3:25

Step-by-Step Solution

Subtract from 11:60: 11:60 - 8:35 = 3:25. In the mirror the minute hand on 7 appears on 5, and the hour hand between 8 and 9 appears between 3 and 4. (4:25 forgets to borrow; 3:35 keeps the minute hand where it was; 8:25 flips only the minutes.)
Answer: D) 3:25
