Correct Answer

A

Explanation

If temperature (t) is directly proportional to heat (h), we can use the formula t = kh, where k is the constant of proportionality.Given that when t = 20 degrees, h = 50J, we can find the value of k:20 = k * 50k = 20 / 50k = 0.4Now that we have the value of k, we can use it to find the temperature when h = 60J:t = 0.4 * 60t = 24So, when h = 60J, the temperature (t) is 24 degrees.
