The correct answer is 1 hour.
Wind-up clocks cannot tell the difference between AM or PM. The alarm will ring when it reaches 9’ O’clock. So even if you go to bed at 8 ‘o’clock in the evening and intended for the alarm to ring at 9 in the morning, the alarm will ring in an hour.

Wind-up clocks have been in existence for quite a while, that they are also known as traditional clocks. In this case, it is best for you to set your alarm to a time (number) that it has passed. You can try at 7 O’clock. If you set it for 7, the alarm will not ring for 11 hours of sleep. This is much better than 1 hour of sleep.

Another option to consider is to use a modern clock or alarm. Mobile devices or high-grade watches can alert you when you like your alarm to go off.

The answer is 1 hour because wound up clocks are no separated by AM/PM criteria. They ring when the hands reach the time that has been set. So whoever set it is pretty much annoyed at their own stupidity of being able to sleep only 1 hour.

A wind-up clock is also known as the more traditional clocks that people use. This type of clock does not have a concept of AM/PM like the digital clocks that a lot of people are using right now. If you went to sleep at 8pm, expect that your clock will alarm at 9pm because it does not have any concept of AM and PM.

It is best to set your alarm to another number that the hands of the clock have already passed in order to get better sleep. For this question, the proper answer is letter C. Some people still like using this type of clock because they look cute. They can be used as a decoration inside the room.
