This question is worded rather oddly, i can see why you could have trouble with it, but the answer you're looking for is A, The temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius. the reason is that this is the temperature before its converted so it can't be B and C and D make no sense whatsoever.
