Answer

Brief Explanations:

Heat stroke occurs when the body overheats, often due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Symptoms include dry, hot, flushed skin (as sweating may stop in severe cases), dilated pupils, rapid weak pulse, and shallow breathing. Frostbite is related to freezing temperatures (symptoms like numbness, pale/blue skin). First - degree burn mainly affects the outer layer of skin (redness, pain, no blisters in most cases). Hypothermia is due to low body temperature (shivering, confusion, slow pulse etc., opposite of rapid pulse here).

Answer:

A. heat stroke
