D. 11:00 a.m.
Alaska is usually 4 hours behind the time in Georgia. So if it is 7:00 a.m. in Alaska, you would add 4 hours to find the time in Georgia. 7 + 4 = 11. However, we must keep in mind that the United States observes daylight saving time, which may affect the number of hours difference between different time zones. During daylight saving time, the difference may only be 3 hours. But assuming standard time with a 4-hour difference, if it's 7:00 a.m. in Alaska, it would be 11:00 a.m. in Georgia, which is before noon. Therefore, the correct answer that matches the provided options is D. 11:00 a.m
