Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius.

The formula to convert Fahrenheit (\(F\)) to Celsius (\(C\)) is \(C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)\).

Step2: Substitute \(F = 95\) into the formula.

First, calculate \(F-32\): \(95 - 32=63\).
Then, multiply by \(\frac{5}{9}\): \(C=\frac{5}{9}\times63\).
Since \(63\div9 = 7\), then \(7\times5=35\). So \(C = 35^{\circ}\text{C}\).

Answer:

35°C (the option with 35°C, e.g., if the options were labeled as in the image, the correct one is the one with 35°C)
