Answer 1

The correct answer is France.

Key Points

Countries are sorted by the total time zones in their region.
The time zones of a country include dependent territories (except for Antarctic claims).
France, including its overseas territories, has the most time zones with 12 (13 including its claim in Antarctica).
Many countries have daylight saving time, an hour added during the local summer, but this list does not include that information.
The UTC offset in the list is not valid in practice during daylight saving time.

Important Points

List of time zones by country:
- Russia - 11
