The correct command to synchronize the local system time with an NTP server in Junos OS is:

B. set clock ntp 64.32.129.3

Explanation:

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers over a network. In Junos OS, you can configure the system to synchronize its time with an NTP server using the "set clock ntp" command. This command specifies the IP address or hostname of the NTP server that the system should synchronize its time with.

Option A: "set ntp time 64.32.129.3" is not a valid command in Junos OS. The correct syntax is "set system ntp server".

Option C: "set time 64.32.129.3" is not a valid command in Junos OS. There is no command called "set time" in operational mode.

Option D: "set date ntp 64.32.129.3" is also not a valid command in Junos OS. The correct syntax for configuring the NTP server is "set system ntp server".

Therefore, the correct command to synchronize the local system time with an NTP server is "set clock ntp <IP address/hostname>".
