Answer:

C: 12.56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the minute hand can move an equivalent of 60 minutes in any one revolution.

-10 minutes movement is equal to 1/6 the total distance and the circumference covered in that time is calculated as:

[tex]C=\pi D\\\\=\frac{1}{6}\pi \times (12\times 2)\\\\\\=12.56\ in[/tex]

Hence, over 10 minutes the minutes hand moves 12.56 inches away.
