Based on the graph, the temperature of the drink started at room temperature (around 70 degrees) and decreased over time as it was in the freezer. Once it was taken out of the freezer, the temperature dropped quickly to about 20 degrees, but then began to increase slowly as it sat on the counter. After 11 minutes, the temperature was around 60 degrees, which is the closest option to the temperature shown on the graph. Therefore, the best choice is C (70 degrees). None of the other options are close to the temperature shown on the graph.
