To correct the clock, Hillary turned the minute hand back by 30 minutes. This action is equivalent to a counterclockwise rotation of the minute hand.
When the minute hand moves back by 30 minutes, it moves from the 12 to the 6 position on the clock face.
Thus, the correct description of the rotation of the minute hand is:
**90 degrees counterclockwise rotation.**
