Which time zone uses PST in standard time and PDT in daylight saving time?

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

Answer: (D)

PST and PDT denote the Pacific Time Zone. In standard time this zone is Pacific Standard Time (PST), which is UTC-8. In daylight saving time clocks move forward one hour to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), which is UTC-7. This zone covers the U.S. West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington) and nearby areas. Other major zones use different names for standard and daylight time (for example, Eastern becomes EST/EDT, Central becomes CST/CDT, and Alaska uses AKST/AKDT). So, the Pacific region is the one that uses PST in standard time and PDT in daylight saving time.
