Which one of the following situations is described by the zeroth law of thermodynamics?

An air conditioner transfers heat from the inside of a house to the outside of the house.

A monatomic gas is held within a container that has a moveable piston. The gas absorbs heat from the surroundings and expands at constant pressure and temperature.

A container with adiabatic walls holds boiling water. A thermometer is calibrated by inserting it into the boiling water and allowing it to reach thermal equilibrium with the water.

A pot contains oil at 175 °C. When frozen sliced potatoes are dropped into the oil, heat is transferred from the oil to the potatoes.

A physicist removes energy from a system in her laboratory until it reaches a temperature of 3 x 10^-10 K, a temperature very close to (but still greater than) absolute zero.
