- ALondon (U.K)
- BLisbon (Portugal)
- CAccra (Ghana)
- DAddis Ababa (Ethiopia)Correct
Explanation
The correct answer is D because London, Lisbon, and Accra are all located on or near the Prime Meridian. They all follow Greenwich Mean Time GMT during the winter months. In contrast, Addis Ababa is located in East Africa and follows East Africa Time, which is 3 hours ahead of GMT. Therefore, at any given instant, Addis Ababa will have a different clock time compared to the other three cities.
