Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(120'\)
One degree contains \(60'\) (minutes). Therefore, \(2^\circ=2\times60'=120'\), so option C is correct. \(60'\) equals only \(1^\circ\), making it a close but incorrect option. Exam tip: To convert degrees to minutes, multiply the number of degrees by 60.
