Atime.sleep()
Bdate.today()
Cdatetime.now()
Dcalendar.month()
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

datetime.now() returns the current date and time; date.today() returns only the current date; time.sleep() pauses execution; calendar.month() returns a month's calendar as a string.
Step 2: Identify the method that returns both date and time
Only datetime.now() returns both current date and time together.
Final Answer:
datetime.now() -> Option C
