This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

273.16

The melting point of ice at standard atmospheric pressure is \(0^\circ C\). Converting to Kelvin using \(T_K = T_C + 273.15\) gives 273.15 K. Among the options, 273.16 K is the closest value, which also corresponds to the triple point of water on the Kelvin scale.
