Correct Answer

A. 10:00 AM

Explanation

The correct answer is 10:00 AM because it is the only option that is a reasonable starting time for an examination. 11:45 AM is too late in the morning and would not leave enough time for students to complete the exam. 10:30 AM and 11:00 AM are also later starting times and would not align with typical examination schedules. Therefore, 10:00 AM is the most logical and appropriate choice for the start time of the examination.
