AFlushed, dry, hot skin
BPale, clammy skin with profuse sweating
CFlushed, clammy skin with minimal sweating
DPale, dry, hot skin
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Pale, clammy skin with profuse sweating. Heat exhaustion is a condition that occurs when the body is unable to regulate its temperature effectively, leading to excessive sweating and dehydration. The symptoms of heat exhaustion include pale, clammy skin with profuse sweating, as the body tries to cool itself down. This is in contrast to heat stroke, where the skin is flushed, dry, and hot (option A). The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the typical symptoms of heat exhaustion. Option C describes a condition that is more indicative of heat cramps, while option D would be more characteristic of heat stroke.
