Correct answer: A
Solution:
To find the time after a number of hours, first find the remainder when that number of hours is divided by 12, then add the remainder to the current hour.
Find the remainder of 101 divided by 12: 101 = 12 × 8 + 5, so the remainder is 5.
Add the remainder to the current time: 4 + 5 = 9.
Therefore, the time after 101 hours will be 9 O'clock.
