The correct answer is option 4, Bhutan.

To determine which country has the maximum time difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), we need to consider the concept of time zones. Time zones are regions of the Earth that have the same standard time.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a time standard based on the location of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. It serves as the reference point for time zones around the world.

To calculate the time difference from GMT, we need to compare the local time of each country with GMT. The time difference is usually given in terms of hours and minutes, with positive values indicating ahead of GMT and negative values indicating behind GMT.

Among the given options, Bhutan, which is option 4, is located at UTC+6:00. This means that Bhutan is 6 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Therefore, Bhutan has the maximum time difference from GMT among the listed countries.

So, the answer is option 4, Bhutan.
