A. (although, more precisely, it should be -173.15)
Absolute zero Kelvin is -273.15 degrees Celcius. These two scales (Kelvin and Celcius) have the same incrementation... in other words, if you increase 56 degrees in Kelvin, you've also increased exactly 56 degrees in Celcius. The difference between the two is where the zero value is. Kelvin has zero at the absolute lowest temperature possible, which is the complete lack of movement/vibration of molecules. Celcius's zero is the freezing point of pure water.

The absolute temperature scale is also called the Kelvin temperature scale, developed by Lord Kelvin. Kelvin temperature scale, a temperature scale having an absolute zero below which temperatures do not exist. Absolute zero, or 0°K, is the temperature at which molecular energy is a minimum, and it corresponds to a temperature of -273.15° on the Celsius temperature scale. The Kelvin degree is the same size as the Celsius degree; hence the two reference temperatures for Celsius, the freezing point of water (0°C), and the boiling point of water (100°C), correspond to 273.15°K and 373.15°K, respectively. When writing temperatures in the Kelvin scale, it is the convention to omit the degree symbol and merely use the letter K. The temperature scale is named after the British mathematician and physicist William Thomson Kelvin, who proposed it in 1848. This scale was developed to do calculations with gases. If the Celcius or Fahrenheit temperature scales were used in these calculations you would get negative volumes, which isn't possible. The lowest temperature is 0K

to convert K to C just subtract 273 for a quick answer

an absolute temperature of 100K is same as a celsius temperature of -173degree celsius.

none of the above, 312 degrees, maybe 212 but i doubt it
