Answer:

Option C. be frozen at 12 noon

Explanation:

This can be explained by the special theory of relativity according to which at greater speeds time slows down and length contracts in the direction of motion.

Also if a body travels at the speed of light time will stop and the body will will reduce to zero length.

Therefore, for the given case time will freeze at 12 noon.
