What is the normal human body temperature in Fahrenheit?
Last Updated:
A96.6°F
B97.6°F
C98.6°F
D100°F
Correct Answer: 98.6°FYour Answer: C
Explanation
The Fahrenheit equivalent of normal human body temperature is a frequently tested value in competitive exams. Option A (96.6°F) is incorrect — 96.6°F corresponds to approximately 35.9°C, which is slightly below the lower end of the normal body temperature range. A body temperature of 96.6°F would begin to indicate mild hypothermia or the person may be running a slightly subnormal temperature. Option B (97.6°F) is incorrect — 97.6°F corresponds to approximately 36.4°C, which is at the lower end of the normal range but is not the standard accepted normal body temperature value used in competitive exams and medical textbooks. Option C (98.6°F) is CORRECT — the normal human body temperature is 98.6°F = 37°C = 310 K. Option D (100°F) is incorrect — 100°F corresponds to approximately 37.8°C, which is above the normal range. 100°F is close to fever territory but is not the normal body temperature.
