Answer

(d) $105^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

We convert all the temperatures to K and then compare them. (a)217 K, (b) 273 K, and (e) 373 K are already in K. (c) $217^{\circ}F$ can be converted to degree Celsius and then to K. $^{\circ}C=\frac{^{\circ}F-32}{1.8}=\frac{217-32}{1.8}=103^{\circ}C=(103+273)K=376\,K$ (d) $105^{\circ}C=(105+273)K=378\,K$ 378 K is the highest temperature. (d) is the correct option.
