Jameson said:What are your thoughts on the question? :)
In general if something is hotter than another, which direction must it move towards?
Jameson said:I think this question is badly constructed,
Jameson said:If you convert -4 degrees celsius to kelvin units, you'll get ~269.2. Multiplying by 4 then converting back to celsius gives an answer not on the list. However, 4 times a temperature in kelvin is different than 4 times a temperature in a different unit. Each unit has a different scale, so the 4x calculation could drastically differ.
My guess for the intended answer to this bad question would be C, but I'm very curious what the officially response is.

Hot and cold are two contrasting temperatures. Hot refers to a higher temperature, while cold refers to a lower temperature. The exact temperatures that are considered hot or cold may vary based on individual preferences and environmental factors.
The sensation of hot and cold is caused by receptors in our skin that detect changes in temperature. These receptors then send signals to our brain, which interprets the information and creates the sensation of hot or cold.
Temperature can have various effects on our bodies. Extreme heat or cold can be dangerous and lead to health issues. Our bodies have mechanisms to regulate temperature, such as sweating to cool down or shivering to warm up.
Individual preferences for temperature can vary based on factors such as genetics, acclimation, and personal experiences. Some people may have a higher tolerance for hot temperatures, while others may feel more comfortable in colder temperatures.
Hot and cold are essential in various scientific fields, such as chemistry, biology, and physics. They are used in experiments to study how temperature affects different materials, chemical reactions, and living organisms. They also have practical applications in industries such as food preservation, medical treatments, and energy production.
