The correct answer is - 30 degrees east.

In Greenwich we have the middle time zone in the world, so any time zone east of it is in front of it, while any time west of it is behind it. In this case we are looking for the places that are two hours upfront, which means we are looking east of Greenwich, or more specifically around 30 degrees east of Greenwich, where we have the time zone that is two hours upfront. There are multiple countries that are using this time zone, some of them are Finland, Ukraine, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Mozambique, RSA...
