Created in 1731, the original thermometer by Anders Celsius had a scale where the value of 0 corresponded to the boiling point of water; after he died in 1744 the scale was reversed to its present form.

my pick is B

I think only the options A and B have complete sentences after the semi colon. So that's our first differentiator. Between A and B , B used the correct modifier "in which" as opposed to "where"(used primarily for places)

I thought that the answer is D but overlooked "reversing" after the semicolon.

The answer is indeed B :)
