Which of the following is a symptom of hypothermia?

  1. Sweating

  2. Shortness of breath

  3. Shivering

  4. Hot flashes

The correct answer is: Shivering

Shivering is a common symptom of hypothermia, which is a condition where the body's core temperature drops below a normal range. Shivering is the body's way of trying to generate heat by contracting and expanding muscles rapidly. This can help raise the body's temperature temporarily. Sweating, shortness of breath and hot flashes are not symptoms of hypothermia, as they often accompany conditions where the body is overheated rather than underheated.
