Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: \(F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32\).
2. Identify the given temperature in Celsius, which is \$170\,^{\circ}C$.
3. Multiply the Celsius temperature by \(\frac{9}{5}\): calculate \(\frac{9}{5} \times 170\).
4. Add 32 to the result from the previous step to complete the conversion: \(\left(\frac{9}{5} \times 170\right) + 32\).
5. The final value you get after this calculation is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
