Suppose you look at the huge clock on the Big Ben Tower in London and it reads 12 noon. If you could travel away from the clock at the speed of light and view it with a telescope, it would: A. run slower than usual
B. run faster than usual
C. be frozen at 12 noon
D. running backwards

This can be explained by the special theory of relativity according to which at greater speeds time slows down and length contracts in the direction of motion.

Also if a body travels at the speed of light time will stop and the body will will reduce to zero length.

Therefore, for the given case time will freeze at 12 noon.
