The correct way of punctuating time is: 10.30 p.m.
Option A is incorrect as there is no full stop between the numbers 10 and 30. There is no full stop between the letters 'p' and 'm' either.
Option B is correct as the time is punctuated correctly as mentioned above.
Option C is incorrect as there is no full stop between the letters 'p' and 'm'.
Option D is incorrect as there is an incorrect (and unnecessary) full stop after 10.30 in this option.
