Correct answer: B. 36 - 38°C
- A. 26 - 28°C
- B. 36 - 38°C
- C. 46 - 48°C
- D. 56 - 58°C
Explanation
Human enzymes and cells function best near 37°C, so normal mammalian body temperature is approximately 36 to 38°C. A common mistake is choosing 26 to 28°C, which is far below the temperature maintained by mammalian homeostasis.
