Answer:

D, -8 F

Step-by-step explanation:

This specific thermometer is in increments of two degrees per minor line and 10 per thicker line. Since the thermometer is showing below zero, the answer cannot be A or B since they are positive. -4 Cannot be the answer since the line addition does not make sense for that. It would be -4 if the thick line increments were 5 degrees instead of ten. Therefore if you count the lines by two from zero down to the thermometer line, you would get -8 Degrees F
