Ms. Morgan's class studied the changes in average global temperature in math class as a part of their study of rational numbers. The table shows how each year varies from a base measure.

Order the five years from coldest to warmest.

A)-0.17°C, -0.10°C, 0.10°C, 0.54°C, 1/50°C

B)-0.17°C, -0.10°C, 1/50°C, 0.10°C, 0.54°C

C)-0.10°C, -0.17°C, 0.10°C, 1/50°C, 0.54°C

D)0.10°C, -0.17°C, -0.10°C, 1/50°C, 0.54°C
