• A. 39.6 °C
• B. 35.2 °C
• C. 37.4 °C
• D. 32.9 °C

Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the formula to convert temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), which is: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)\).
2. Substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature into the formula: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (99.3 - 32)\).
3. Calculate the difference inside the parentheses: \(\displaystyle 99.3 - 32\).
4. Multiply the result by \(\frac{5}{9}\) to find the temperature in Celsius: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} \times (\text{difference})\).
5. Interpret the final value obtained as the temperature in degrees Celsius.
