Which of the listed conditions is a symptom of sun stroke?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Temperature is high, pulse is strong and rapid, and skin is hot and dry.
This is the correct answer because these symptoms are characteristic of heat stroke, also known as sun stroke. Heat stroke occurs when the body's temperature regulation system fails, leading to a rapid rise in body temperature. The high temperature, along with a strong and rapid pulse and hot, dry skin, are the hallmark signs of heat stroke.
The other options describe symptoms that are not associated with heat stroke. Option A describes symptoms of heat exhaustion, while options C and D describe symptoms of hypothermia, which is the opposite of heat stroke.
