Technically, none of the choices are correct. Datetimeoffset is 34 characters in length. The length of @C truncates the value returned and results in "2018-09-03 11:55:34." Changing the length of @C to 34 results in the full datetimeoffset string.

Exactly. Does no-one ever actually test these things?

Hi @steve-2
I think none of the answers are correct.
The varchar size given is 20 and thus it shows only up to "2018-09-03 11:55:34." in the Result set.
If it was given like varchar(34) then the answer would be "2018-09-03 11:55:34.0000000 -07:00"

Thanks

Also, the explanation says:

"The conversion takes place correctly and '2018-09-03 04:55:34.0000000 -07:00' is returned."
