No idea about this. And I would not be able to be sure even if I had to choose between 2 of these. So I use my gift to "JUMP" this question.

Let's jump this.

Croatian mercenaries were famous for their neckties. You also call them cravats in many countries. The French "à la cravate" means Croatian-style.

Thanks to Totallympics I became an expert of world time zones :d  This is a tricky one and I was going to answer Brazil because I was sure of Netherlands (UTC +1), Norway (UTC +1) and China (UTC +8) time zones. But then I am also sure Brazil can not be UTC +1.

 

The Netherlands also owns Aruba, whose time zone is UTC -4. So I will go with A. Netherlands.

Brazil has four timezones, from UTC-2 to UTC-5... but the Caribbean Netherlands was the catch, so A is right. :d
