1. Which of the following demonstrates the greatest molecular activity?
A.  32?F
B.  -10?C
C.  264?K
D.  5?C

First I convert all temperatures to the same measure unit °C
A. 32 ° F =  0    ° C
B.          -10   ° C
C. 264 K  = -9,15 ° C  
D.           5,0  ° C    

This can be done with:

Now we see that D has the highest temperature. According to the Nernst
Theorem (also known as the Third Law of Thermodynamics) the molecular
activity is proportional to temperature, so D has the greatest
molecular activity:

"Nernst's theorem, sometimes referred to as the third law of
thermodynamics, states that the entropy of a system at zero absolute
temperature is a well-defined constant. This is due to the fact that a
system at zero temperature exists in its ground state, so that its
entropy is determined by the degeneracy of the ground state. Many
systems, such as crystal lattices, have a unique ground state, and
therefore have zero entropy at at absolute zero (since ln(1) = 0)."

I hope this helps to solve your problem.
