Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Western European Time

In both territories, Daylight saving time is observed during summer months, meaning that mainland Spain uses Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00), while the Canary Islands uses Western European Summer Time (UTC+01:00) between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October. Answer: Western European Time. Why not the others: Eastern European Time, Greenwich Mean Time all year, and Central European Time are other time zones; the Canary Islands observe Western European Time (WET/UTC+0, UTC+1 in summer), one hour behind the mainland.
