Correct choice: D

Explanation:

When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.

At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.

∴ Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

5 min. spaces are gained in		60	x 5	min	= 5	5	min.
		55				11

∴ Required time = 5	5	min. past 7.
