g. its 5:55
h. its nine fifteen.
i. its 12:00 pm
j. its four fifty.

Explanation:

1. "Son las diez y veinte" means "It's ten twenty", so it matches F.
2. "Son las cinco menos diez" means "It's 4:50", but there is no such option. There might be a mis - understanding, it should be "Son las diez menos cinco" which means "It's 9:55", but still no match. If we assume it's a wrong transcription and it means "It's five to ten" which is 9:55, still no match. If we consider it as "It's ten to five" which is 4:50, no match. Let's assume it's a wrong entry.
3. "Es la una y media" means "It's one thirty", so it matches D.
4. "Es la medianoche" means "It's 12:00 AM", so it matches A.
5. "Son las tres de la madrugada" means "It's 3:00 AM", so it matches C.
6. "Son las nueve y cuarto" means "It's nine fifteen", so it matches H.
7. "Son las siete de la mañana" means "It's 7:00 AM", so it matches B.
8. "Es la una y cuarenta y dos" means "It's one forty - two", so it matches E.
9. "Es el mediodía" means "It's 12:00 PM", so it matches I.
10. "Son las seis menos cinco" means "It's 5:55", so it matches G.
