Answer 1

Answer: C. hypothermia

Explanation:

Hypothermia is a kind of medical emergency that happens when the body loses heat faster than it can produce, this condition causes a dangerously low temperature of the body. The normal temperature of the body is 98.6 F (37 °C) but in the condition of hypothermia, the body temperature falls below 95 F (35 °C).

When the temperature of the body drops, the heart, nervous system and other organs do not work normally. Hypothermia can lead to complete failure of the respiratory system and heart and eventually lead to death.

Hypothermia occurs in cold weather, immersion in cold water and case of vigorous exercise when the person sweats too much. The primary method for the treatment of hypothermia is to warm the body to restore the normal temperature.
