Correct Answer: Steady


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

Explanation: In the context of the sentence, "moving" implies motion or activity, suggesting that the clock might be in motion or changing position. On the other hand, "steady" indicates stability and lack of movement, which contrasts with the idea of something being in motion.

Therefore, the correct answer is steady.
