The correct answer is D) 273.15 C
Using the temperature conversions:
C = 273.15 + K
where:
C: Magnitude in Celcius Scale
K: Magnitude in Kelvin Scale
Absolute zero is the lowest temperature in the universe, occurring at 0 K. When we convert to the Celsius scale, we get:
0 = 273.15 + C
C=−273.15
As a result, absolute zero occurs at 273.15 C
