Answer:

A

Explanation:

So the minute hand if it goes around the entire clock (circle) we have

360 degrees (think degrees wise) and 60 minutes (think minute wise.)

If we divide 360 degrees into 60 parts for each minute we have 360/60 = 6

degrees for each minute that passed.

From 12:12 to 12:50 we have 50-12= 38 minutes

38 minutes * 6 degrees for each minute = 228 degrees
