Correct Answer: 310 KYour Answer: C

Normal human body temperature in Kelvin is derived from the standard Celsius value using the Kelvin conversion formula. Option A (273 K) is incorrect — 273 K corresponds to 0°C, which is the freezing point of water. A person at 273 K (0°C) would be frozen solid and clinically dead. This is one of the most commonly confused values in competitive exams. Option B (300 K) is incorrect — 300 K = 27°C, which is approximately normal room temperature in warm conditions. While 300 K is used as a convenient approximate room temperature in many physics problems, it is not the normal human body temperature. Option C (310 K) is CORRECT — the normal human body temperature is 37°C. Converting to Kelvin: K = C + 273 = 37 + 273 = 310 K. Therefore, 37°C = 98.6°F = 310 K. This triple equivalence is extremely important for all competitive exams including SSC CGL, Railway, UPSC, and NDA. The image conversion table specifically shows body temperature as 37°C = 98.6°F = 310 K. Option D (373 K) is incorrect — 373 K corresponds to 100°C, which is the boiling point of water, not human body temperature. A person at 373 K (100°C) would be at boiling water temperature — instantly fatal. For exams: Body temp = 37°C = 98.6°F = 310 K.
