A
Kelvin
B
degree celsius
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The metric system, including Celsius, is the official system of measurement for almost all countries in the world. Most scientific fields measure temperature using the Celsius scale. Zero degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Celsius or Centigrade is the metric system measuring unit for temperature. It was originally defined based on the freezing point of water (0°C) and the boiling point of water (100°C), both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -In metric unit, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius ( °C ). The Celsius scale is also called the centigrade scale since it’s divided into 100 degrees. The Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius who developed Celsius temperature scale. In the customary unit, temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit ( °F ).

Detailed explanation-4: -The temperature scale used in the metric system is the Kelvin scale or Celsius scale, but prefixes are not applied to degrees of temperature. While the zero point is different between Kelvin and Celsius, the size of the degree is the same.

Detailed explanation-5: -Temperature is measured in degree celsius (∘C).
