{'noon': [0, 0, 4, 2], 'saturday': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'sunday': [0, 1, 2, 4], 'time': [2, 6, 15, 23], 'place': [13, 5, 3, 13]}

Option-1 11:00 p.m. on Sunday: This option suggests that the time at the place located on 165° W meridian would also be 11:00 p.m. on Sunday. However, this is incorrect because if the location on the 165° E meridian is already at 11:00 p.m., the location on the 165° W meridian would be ahead in time.

Option-2 12:00 noon on Sunday: This option indicates that the time at the place located on the 165° W meridian would be 12:00 noon on Sunday. However, this is incorrect because if the original location is 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, the location on the 165° W meridian would not be at the same time as the previous location.

Option-3 1:00 a.m. on Sunday: This option correctly states that the time at the place located on the 165° W meridian would be 1:00 a.m. on Sunday. Since the original location is at 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, moving westward along the meridian would result in an increase in time.

Option-4 11:00 p.m. on Saturday:
