Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius

We will convert this temperature to Fahrenheit to obtain its equivalent using the formula:


\begin{gathered} F=(9)/(5)C+32_{} \\ C=100^(\circ) \\ F=(9)/(5)(100)+32=180+32 \\ F=212^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the first option is the correct answer (212 degrees Fahrenheit & 100 degrees Celsius)
