B)is less than that on the Celsiusthermometer.
C)is equal to that on the Celsiusthermometer.
D)may be equal, higher or lower than that onthe Celsius thermometer, depending on the temperature. Hint: temperature in oC = (temperature in oF -32) * 5/9. Put in some numbers, for example T = 100 oF and T =-100 oF.
