How is "2:00 am" expressed in 24-hour military time?

In 24-hour military time, the hours of the day are numbered from 00 to 23. Specifically, "2:00 am" falls within the first half of the day and is expressed as "02:00." In this format, the leading zero is often retained to maintain a consistent four-digit representation. The first two digits represent the hour and the last two digits represent the minutes. Therefore, "2:00 am" converts to "0200" in military time.

Other options do not accurately correspond to "2:00 am." For instance, "1100" indicates 11:00 am, "0201" signifies one minute past 2:00 am, and "0002" represents 12:02 am, highlighting the differences in time representation.
