B Correct answer
Explanation

-40 degrees is the temperature where Fahrenheit and Celsius scales intersect. Using the conversion formula F = (C × 9/5) + 32, plugging in -40 for C gives -40°F. Conversely, using C = (F - 32) × 5/9 with -40°F gives -40°C. This is the only temperature where both scales read the same.
