Explanation:

All of the above are correct.

India's time zone is UTC/GMT (Coordinated Universal Time/Greenwich Mean Time) +5.5 hours. It's referred to as Indian Standard Time (IST). What's unusual is that there is only one time zone across the whole of India.

Though China is almost as wide as the continental United States, the whole country is officially in just one time zone — Beijing time.

There are eleven time zones in Russia, which currently observe times ranging from UTC+02:00 to UTC+12:00. Daylight saving time is not used in Russia (since March 2011).
