Hypothermia is described as a condition that occurs when the body temperature is very low due to wet clothing in windy or rainy weather.

• A. Hypothermia
• B. Heat Stroke
• C. Heat Exhaustion
• D. Concussion

Answer: (A)

Hypothermia occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, causing the core temperature to fall below normal. Wet clothing in windy or rainy weather speeds heat loss because water conducts heat away from the body much more efficiently than air, and wind increases heat loss through convection and evaporation. In such conditions, the body can’t maintain its temperature, so the description fits hypothermia. The other conditions involve overheating in hot environments, while concussion is a head injury and not about temperature.
