Answer:
b.- earlier; west to east.
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually our planet, as the rest the planets in our Solar System (except Jupiter) they turn from east to west, that is, this is the way that our clockwise works.
That is the reason that the city A that is at the west of the city B, will have an hour earlier than the city B. (check the image as an example).
But if there is a person at the North Pole, it will seen the otherwise ( clockwise) because of the reference point, that is at the top of our planet.
