by

(A) 2:45 AM on Thursday
(B) 3:15 AM on Thursday
(C) 3:20 PM on Thursday
(D) None of these

🧠 Explanation:

The car reaches its destination at 2:45 AM on Thursday.

Starting from 9:15 PM on Wednesday, adding 5 hours brings the time to 2:15 AM the next day. Adding the additional 30 minutes results in 2:45 AM. This calculation crosses midnight, moving from Wednesday into early Thursday morning. Understanding time calculations like this helps in scheduling and planning travel or events that span across days.
