The correct options are:
A) 0 K
F) the temperature at which motion is at a minimum

In fact, absolute zero corresponds to zero degrees in the Kelvin scale: 0 K. At this temperature, the motion of the molecules of any substance is minimum (it is zero, to be precise).

(note: there are some weird signs in the answers. if there is a negative sign in front of
273^(\circ)C in option D), then option D is correct as well, because
0 K =-273^(\circ) C).
