Final answer:

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature and is the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases. It is measured on the Kelvin scale, where water freezes at 273 K and boils at 373 K.

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature and is the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases.

It is measured on the Kelvin scale, where water freezes at 273 K and boils at 373 K, with 0 K being absolute zero.

This temperature is significant in scientific work and is used in fields such as astronomy

Answer:

The coldest temperature possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute zero = 0 K

A. is wrong. 0 °C = 273 K

B. is wrong. -210 °C = 63 K

C. is wrong. 32 °F = 273 K

E. is wrong. -196°C = 77 K
