Answer:

The correct option is: C) tetanus

Tetanus is a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, commonly found in the manure, soil, dust and saliva. This disease is characterized by muscle spasms, which begin at the jaw and travels to rest of the body and can also cause muscle fractures.

Other symptoms of this infection include headache, fever, abnormally high heart rate, difficulty in breathing, sweating, trouble swallowing and high blood pressure.

<u>Therefore, the baby is most likely suffering from tetanus.</u>

PLZ HELP! What do you think would be consequences of not having a fight-or-flight response?​
storchak [24]

The fight-or-flight response plays a critical role we deal with anger, stress, or danger. It prepares our body to fight or flee from the threat. Without it, the body cannot help you protect yourself in a dangerous situation. We lose much needed energy and strength. We cannot really defend ourselves!
