Answer:

10 degrees.

Explanation:

The temperature in the refrigerator would be 10 degrees Celsius after 1 hour. This is because the initial temperature of the refrigerator was -5 degrees Celsius, and it warmed up by 15 degrees Celsius due to the open door. Therefore, the total temperature increase was 15 degrees Celsius, which when added to the initial temperature of -5 degrees Celsius, gives a final temperature of 10 degrees Celsius after 1 hour.
