Right choice is (c) Time-temperature integrators/indicators

To explain I would say: Time-temperature integrators/indicators have a graduated scale. They start to react as soon as the activated temperature is reached. Defrost indicators are set to a temperature when the frozen food gets spoiled/starts de freezing. Time-temperature integrators react as soon as they’re activated to the preselected time and temperature.
