(Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Answer 2

B) spinning of Earth on its axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between times between different regions is called a time zone. This difference usually occurs between different countries, but it can occur between regions of the same country, such as Florida and Washington, which are 3 hours apart.

The time zone occurs because of the spherical shape of the earth and the rotation of the earth on its axis, that is, in relation to the rotation that the earth surrounds itself.
