Which one do you think it is?

rushwr · Answer

absolute zero is taken as −273.15° on the Celsius scale therefore B and D are wrong.
  I think it is A Because the temperature at triple point is 0.01 Celsius.

joannablackwelder · Answer

Absolute zero is defined as 0 K, which is -273 deg C

taramgrant0543664 · Answer

The answer is A as at that is the point that every particle with cease at, it is still theoretical because they are unable to reach absolute zero

photon336 · Answer

Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles; as temperature gets lower Particles would move more slowly so based off of that what would be absolute zero?

I agree with Tara
