CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. For a mirror image, actual time =11:60−= 11{:}60 - the time seen.

  2. 11:60−4:25=7:3511{:}60 - 4{:}25 = 7{:}35.

Worth noting

4:35 flips only the minutes. 7:25 and 6:35 are borrowing slips in the subtraction; write 12:00 as 11:60 first.
