My 2 cents: both players have 2 local ko threats, T6/S5, L1/M1, T9/T8, T5/R5

No it does not. Black will play along in the ladder for a while. Once Black has played C8 there is no squeeze possible; as taking at C6 is also atari on C7.

It is in fact a double ko. If White retakes at N8 Black ataris by taking the top ko at N12. White needs to win both kos to save the stones, which is impossible unless White finds a way to set up an even bigger ko somewhere else (and lose it, retaking N8 and connecting at N7). Even then White still needs to fight the remaining ko. Or White will use this as a source of threats to win any smaller ko somewhere else. White will tenuki now and seek out any ko possibilities. So althouigh this is marked correct, is is worse than the other solution path. .

I meant tenuki is a wrong move for black.

Maybe a tenuki option at F15 or any other point could be an interesting branch.

O8 followed by T3 is better I think.

For these type of simple shape problems, black digging himself into a hole by making bad move after bad move is sometimes fine, because the goal is to show why the defence will not work.

It doesn't seem possible to read this and click all the way through during a time trial.
