Step-by-Step Solution

The complete worked solution.

Every step explained - no skipped algebra.

Since the second hand completes a full rotation every 60 seconds regardless of the clock's speed, it always traverses 360 degrees in one minute. The clock gaining five minutes every hour affects the minute and hour hands, not the second hand. Therefore, the angle traversed by the second hand in one minute remains 360 degrees.

Final Answer: Option A - 360 degrees
