b. The plasma torch burns at 4,000 to 8,000 K, which is much hotter than the standard flame used in a Bunsen burner.

c. All of these statements are true about the plasma torch.

d. The plasma torch allows for each metal to atomize more completely than in a natural gas flame, which leads to more consistent results.
