Which one of the following cities does not have the same clock time as that of the other three cities at any given instant?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) observes East Africa Time (EAT), which is UTC+3; timeanddate shows London is three hours behind Addis Ababa, confirming this offset. London (UK) and Lisbon (Portugal) normally use Greenwich Mean Time / Western European Time (UTC+0) and, along with Accra (Ghana) which observes GMT year‑round, can share the same clock time when the European cities are on standard time. The UK and Portugal may shift to UTC+1 during daylight saving (BST/WEST), while Addis Ababa stays at UTC+3 throughout the year, so Addis Ababa never has the same clock time as the other three simultaneously.
