Hint: Adjective needs to be modified not the whole sentence. The above-mentioned sentence said that due to the high temperature of the body one can fry an egg meaning so the sentence adjective needs the modification if required that makes the sentence meaningful.

Complete answer:
Option (A) ‘No Change’: is the correct option because ‘Enough’ is an adverb, meaning ‘to the required degree’ which means that the temperature is raised to the required degree at which his body temperature is equal to the temperature to fry an egg and adverb is used right after the adjective ‘high’ which is modified by it.
Option (B) ‘Your body temperature is high to fry an egg!’: is an incorrect option because the subject ‘body temperature’ is placed before the adverb but not after the adjective ‘high’.
Option (C) ‘Your body temperature is high to fry an egg enough!’: is an incorrect option because the adverb is required to be placed which is near to the word it modifies not at the end of the sentence.
Option (D) ‘Enough your body temperature is high to fry an egg!’: is an incorrect option because the adverb can only be placed close to the word it modifies not in the front position as it results to modify the whole sentence, not the particular word.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: The adverb underlined shows that it has only upgraded the word which is near to it hence, it is the correct option to choose.
