Which of the following statements concerning the three major temperature scales is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) This statement is true. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is the lowest temperature possible and is equal to 0 Kelvin. Therefore, all Kelvin temperatures are positive.
B) This statement is true. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, you add 273 to the Celsius temperature. For example, if the Celsius temperature is 25 degrees, the Kelvin temperature would be 25 + 273 = 298 Kelvin.
C) This statement is false. The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Fahrenheit. On the Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is 273.15 Kelvin. Therefore, the freezing point of water has the same numerical value on the Kelvin and Celsius scales, but a higher numerical value on the Fahrenheit scale. 
Since both A and B are true and C is false, the correct answer is choice D.
