No, not D. It's not cool!
It's not A either.
Reed gave you a big hint.
Cool can mean a little bit cold -- as 50 degrees is considered a cool temperature. Cool also can mean in style or really good.

Which of the four words denote and connote temperature and which can mean temperature and something neat or good?
Oh its C ? Im thinking she was saying its not cool
When I say "it's not cool to wear that sweater," what does it mean? When i say my burger got cool and doesn't taste right," what does THAT mean? D is not a cool answer. It's not cool to be wrong.
Yes. C is correct.
Thank you
