Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: West
Reasoning:
On a normal clock, at 6:00 the hour hand points to 6 (downwards), which corresponds to South.
Here the hour hand points North at 6:00, so the entire clock has been rotated 180°. That swaps North↔South and East↔West.
At 9:15 the minute hand is at the 3-position (15 minutes), which is East on a normally oriented clock.
After the 180° rotation, East becomes West. Therefore the minute hand points West.
