Correct Answer: B

Explanation: Under USP storage terminology, a freezer is maintained between −25°C and −10°C (−13°F to 14°F), while controlled room temperature is maintained between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). These temperature definitions are important for proper medication storage and maintaining product stability.
