Answer 15 is right.
The reason is we can't consider 0th sec bell together like in clock problem hour and min. Hand coincide 11 times in 12 hours.

In the question, it clearly states that all the bell starts tolling at first and then tolls at regular intervals,
So we have to add 1 with the 15.
So we have to add 1 with the 15.
