Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1°C and 1 K are equivalent temperature changes because they have the same magnitude. However, 1 K is larger than 1°C on an absolute temperature scale, such as the Kelvin scale. Option A is incorrect because 1 K is not equal to 1°F, and option B is incorrect because 1°F and 1°C do not have the same magnitude.
