The Celsius thermometer reads -40 degrees; Celsius and the Kelvin thermometer read 233K. Which of the following statements is necessarily true?
A) If the temperature of the contents is increased by 10 C degrees, the reading on the Kelvin thermometer should increase by 273 K
B) The Kelvin thermometer should read -233 K.
C) The fahrenheit thermometer must read -40 degrees F
D) If water were found within the box, it must be in the liquid state.
E) The Kelvin thermometer should read -313K
