Solution

The correct option is D Temperature
According to the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, when the thermodynamic systems A and B are separately in a thermal equilibrium with a third thermodynamic system C, then the systems A and B are in thermal equilibrium with each other also.
Thus, the physical quantity that determines whether or not a system is in thermal equilibrium with another system is Temperature. Thus, the zeroth laws of thermodynamics gives the concept of temperature.
Zeroth law of thermodynamics can also be stated as follows:
There exists a scalar quantity called temperature, which is a property of all thermodynamic systems, such that equality of temperatures is the only condition for the thermodynamic systems to be in thermal equilibrium.
