C) b, d, and f only
D) All of the above

Answer 1

Option D). The quantities that are expressed in metric units and/or proper units of temperature are: a. Normal body temperature: 37°C. b. The amount of liquid in a bottle: 2 L. c. The height of a ceiling: 8 ft. d. The amount of aspirin in a tablet: 81 mg. e. The volume of a cooking pot: 4 qt. f. The amount of time for a short race: 10.2 s. All of the above options are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantities that are expressed in metric units and/or proper units of temperature are:

a. Normal body temperature: 37°C (metric unit of temperature)

b. The amount of liquid in a bottle: 2 L (metric unit - liter)

c. The height of a ceiling: 8 ft (imperial unit - feet)

d. The amount of aspirin in a tablet: 81 mg (metric unit - milligram)

e. The volume of a cooking pot: 4 qt (imperial unit - quart)

f. The amount of time for a short race: 10.2 s (metric unit - second)

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D) All of the above since all the quantities are expressed in metric units and/or proper units of temperature.
