Hint: In order to find the correct answer of the given question we need to know about the characteristics of different temperature scales. After that we can compare the characteristics with the scales given in the option and finally conclude with the correct answer.

Complete step by step answer:

First of all let us find the absolute zero condition. Absolute zero means 0K0K below which temperatures do not exist.

Now, let us find out the characteristics of the scales that are given in the question.

Kelvin Scale: It is a thermodynamic scale used to measure temperature having an absolute zero scale.

Rankine Scale: This scale is also a thermodynamic scale based on absolute zero temperature.

Celsius Scale: This scale is based on zero degrees for the freezing point of water and hundred degrees for the boiling point of water. It is not an absolute temperature scale but a relative scale.

Fahrenheit Scale: It is based on 32∘32∘ for the freezing point of water and 212∘212∘ for the boiling point of water. It is also not based on absolute zero temperature.

We can notice from step one that both Kelvin scale and Rankine scales are based on absolute zero temperature.

Hence, options (A) and (B), i.e. Kelvin scale and Rankine scale are the correct choices of the given question.
