Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation=
Temperature adjusts the softmax distribution in decoding. Increasing it (e.g., to 2.0) flattens the curve, giving lower-probability words a better chance, thus increasing diversity-Option C is correct. Option A exaggerates-top words still have impact, just less dominance. Option B is backwards-decreasing temperature sharpens, not broadens. Option D is false-temperature directly alters distribution, not speed. This controls output creativity.
