has to be D as it's 3 mins past midnight
& that's the closest time to midnight -
That should be 00:03 am then?

A because it is closer than C.
B and D are 24h times so they are incorrect.

I mean there is no 1203 or 06 in am/pm clock

What? The closest is 1203 am. I see 1203 and 1206 on my clock every night.

12.03 doesnt exist, its 00.03

If a message was passed on any military or police radio using the 25 hour clock theu would say "zero ,zero zero 3 hours"

If someone asked you the time you would say its three minutes past twelve

That's the argument.

Most countries use the 24-hour time, which we call military time.

In standard time, there is such thing as 12:03am, which would make the answer D.

It's an intentional question to create argument.

But your standard time clock goes from 00:00 to 11:59 twice, right. Or old school clock with pointers?

Argh… Or do digital clocks with am/pm switch from 12:59am to 1:00pm then?
Thats ridicilous, that would make am 13hrs and pm 11hrs?

I've seen 12:03am on a digital standard clock hundreds of times.

My birth certificate says i was born at 12:06am.

Which is 6 minutes after midnight.

You can argue all you want, that's the point of the picture.

When I was in commercial broadcasting the written logs are on the 24 hour clock...one second past 12Noon is PM or the afternoon hours...one second before and it is AM, or the morning hours...One second after 12Mid (or on the 24hour clock) is AM or the morning hours...One second before and it is PM or the evening hours.

All time announcements in broadcasting is with the 12 Hour clock because that's the way the general public thinks...But internally it is on the 24 hour clock.

Standard US clock maybe?
So when does it exactly switch from am to pm and back?

The fact that the "a.m." qualifier exists in all the answers defines the clock being used.  It's the 12-hour clock.  Military time does not need that qualifier (since there's only 1 version of each hour, 0-23, and not 12:00-11:59 repeated twice), so at an hour before noon it's "eleven-hundred hours" or simply "eleven-hundred", not "eleven-hundred A.M."   

The (only) correct answer is D. 

Oh, wait - unless you're on The Price is Right.

thats 3 mins past midnight
12 pm is lunchtime

ah, Im thinking of the clock going forwards to the next midnight

The question as usual isnt specific enough
Both answers could be correct

In one physical model of the Universe, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line ... in the opposite direction.

I disagree (:)!) it's a question deliberately designed to identify foreigners.
