How would you rewrite this nested if-else using a ternary operator?

if temp > 30
  status = "Hot"
elsif temp > 20
  status = "Warm"
else
  status = "Cold"
end

Astatus = temp > 30 ? "Hot" : temp > 20 "Warm" : "Cold"

Bstatus = temp > 30 ? "Hot" : "Warm" : "Cold"

Cstatus = temp > 30 ? "Hot" : temp > 20 ? "Cold" : "Warm"

Dstatus = temp > 30 ? "Hot" : temp > 20 ? "Warm" : "Cold"

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Translate nested if-else to nested ternary
The first condition checks temp > 30 for "Hot". If false, check temp > 20 for "Warm", else "Cold".
Step 2: Verify correct ternary syntax and order
status = temp > 30 ? "Hot" : temp > 20 ? "Warm" : "Cold" correctly nests ternary operators with proper '?' and ':' placement matching the if-elsif-else logic.
Final Answer:
status = temp > 30 ? "Hot" : temp > 20 ? "Warm" : "Cold" -> Option D
Quick Check:
Nested ternary matches nested if-else logic [OK]

Quick Trick: Nest ternaries carefully with correct punctuation [OK]
