Answer :
Final answer:
The correct answer to the question about what the coolant temperature gauge indicates as a normal engine temperature is 230 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, as it's the closest range to the typical operating temperatures of most vehicle engines. therefore option (a) is correct
Explanation:
The question asks what the normal engine temperature is as indicated by the coolant temperature gauge. The correct answer is that a normal operating temperature for most vehicle engines, which the coolant gauge would indicate, falls within the range of 195 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Although none of the given options perfectly match this range, the closest and most accurate choice based on common vehicle engine operating temperatures would be 230 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This range slightly exceeds the typical, but it is the closest to the normal operating temperatures of most automobiles, which often operate safely within a coolant temperature range of approximately 195°F to 220°F (90°C to 104°C). Options 2 and 3 are significantly lower than the normal operating temperatures of vehicle engines, and option 4 is far too high, suggesting an overheating condition.
