C. Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin
D. Celsius and Fahrenheit

Answer :

d. Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scale(s) use(s) the degree symbol (º) in its units.

The use of the degree symbol (º) in temperature scales is as follows:

  • Celsius (°C): This scale uses the degree symbol to indicate temperatures. For example, 25°C.
  • Fahrenheit (°F): This scale also uses the degree symbol. For instance, 77°F.
  • Kelvin (K): The Kelvin scale does not use the degree symbol. Temperatures are simply expressed as Kelvin values without the symbol, such as 273 K.
