The correct answer is minus 273 degrees Celsius.

Key Points

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature and is a point at which fundamental particles of nature have minimal vibration motion resulting in retaining only quantum mechanical zero-point energy induced particle motion.
It is equivalent to 0 Kelvin or minus 273 degrees Celsius.
It is practically impossible to reach out to the absolute zero temperature.
It is the temperature at which the particles in the substance are essentially motionless which means that there is no way to slow them down further.
Nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.
