The correct answer was c. Hanshin.
| Station | Departure time | Arrival time (Osaka-Umeda Station, JR Osaka Station) | Travel time |
|---|---|---|---|
| JR Ashiya Station | 5:18 | 5:38 | 20 min (7 stations) |
| Hankyu Ashiyagawa Station | 5:17 | 5:43 | 26 min (9 stations) |
| Hanshin Uchide Station | 4:52 | 5:25 | 33 min (18 stations) |
| Hanshin Ashiya Station | 4:50 | 5:25 | 35 min (19 stations) |
The Hanshin Line is the earliest, but it also has the longest travel time at 35 minutes. By the way, the second train from Hanshin Ashiya Station departs at 5:16 and arrives at 5:50, so the Hanshin Line is earlier by exactly one train.
