Which time zone has standard time EST and daylight saving time EDT?

• A. Pacific
• B. Eastern
• C. Central
• D. Mountain

Answer: (B)

EST is Eastern Standard Time, the baseline time used in the Eastern Time Zone. When daylight saving time is in effect, clocks move forward one hour and that same zone uses Eastern Daylight Time, abbreviated EDT. So having both EST and EDT signals the Eastern Time Zone, which covers cities like New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Miami. The other options correspond to different zones (Pacific with PST/PDT, Central with CST/CDT, Mountain with MST/MDT) and do not use EST/EDT.
