hot and moist skin, high body temperature
B
cold and dry skin, low body temperature
C
cold and moist skin, high body temperature
D
hot and dry skin, high body temperature
AI Explanation
D) hot and dry skin, high body temperature is the correct answer. The key symptoms of heat stroke are a high body temperature (often over 104°F or 40°C) and hot, dry skin. This is due to the body's inability to regulate its temperature and cool itself effectively. The other options do not match the typical symptoms of heat stroke - cold and moist skin indicates hypothermia, while cold and dry skin with low body temperature would not be consistent with heat stroke.
