At first was going to say A and C but I guess B it is.
At any moment of time Unix timestamp should be the same, it is local time which is going to be different.

There is no difference between the current time in any time zone—the
current time is an
absolute point in time! Therefore, the difference is zero and the
correct answer is B.
