Reefs
Time Zones
Political map
Route Map

The correct answer is: Time Zones

The correct answer is time zones. Time zones are regions of the Earth that have the same standard time. They are established based on longitudinal divisions of the Earth, with each zone typically spanning 15 degrees of longitude, which corresponds to one hour of time difference from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This structure allows people's activities to be aligned with daylight hours, making it essential for global communication, travel schedules, and other time-sensitive activities. The other options do not relate to the concept of differentiating time across the globe. Reefs, for instance, refer to underwater structures and have nothing to do with time regulation. A political map focuses on boundaries, territories, and the political divisions of areas, while a route map is used for navigation and planning travel routes, rather than indicating different time zones.
