Which of the following is a sign of hypothermia?

  1. Sweating

  2. Hot, dry skin

  3. Shivering

  4. Rapid heartbeat

The correct answer is: Shivering

Shivering is a classic symptom of hypothermia, where the body's core temperature drops to dangerous levels. The body responds by trying to generate heat through rapid muscle contractions, leading to chattering teeth and shivering. This is a sign that the body is trying to warm itself up. Sweating and a rapid heartbeat are actually signs of hyperthermia, or overheating. Hot, dry skin can also be a sign of hyperthermia, as the body may stop sweating in an attempt to conserve heat. Therefore, C is the best answer as it is the only sign that is associated with hypothermia.
