You would think that it should be 24 -- one for each hour. But it is actually closer to 30 -- and none of the answers you provide are correct.
I suspect that is what the person who asked this question has in mind. However, there are actually more than 24 time zones. For example, the Canadian province of Newfoundland is 30 minutes ahead of the Atlantic Time Zone (and 90 minutes ahead of the US Eastern Time Zone). Australia also has time zones that differ by a half hour rather than an hour.
See the following link.

There are about 39 time zones instead of 24 (as popularly believed). This is due to fractional hour offsets and zones with offsets larger than 12 hours near the International Date Line and countries like India (GMT+5.30) having their own separate Time zones. Some micronations may use offsets that are not recognized by all authorities.
But I think the answer you are looking for is 24. Which is actually incorrect but still taught in schools.

There are only 24 hours in a day. Each zone is a hour. In theory, 360 degrees(earth) divided by 24hours(time)= 15 degrees of longitude(roughly).
