Answer:

The correct answer is "-268.667°C".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Temperature,

= 4.483 K (below)

Now,

The formula of temperature conversion will be:


T(^(\circ) C)=T(K)-273.15

By putting the values, we get


=4.483-273.15


=-268.667^(\circ) C

Thus the above is the correct answer.
