Dhot and dry skin, high body temperature
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) hot and dry skin, high body temperature. This is the correct answer because hot and dry skin, along with a high body temperature, are classic symptoms of heat stroke. Heat stroke is a severe form of heat illness that occurs when the body is unable to regulate its temperature, leading to a dangerously high core temperature. The other options are incorrect because cold and moist skin with high body temperature is a symptom of heat exhaustion, while cold and dry skin with low body temperature is a symptom of hypothermia, not heat stroke.
