Explanation:

Question 17

To solve this, we recall the terms related to the signs of inflammation. "Rubor" specifically refers to redness due to increased blood circulation and vasodilation in injured tissues. "Calor" is warmth, "tumor" is swelling, and "dolor" is pain. So the correct option is the one matching the definition of redness.

We refer to the signs of inflammation. "Calor" is defined as warmth resulting from increased blood flow. "Rubor" is redness, "turmo" (likely a typo, but not the correct term here) and "dolor" is pain. So we identify the option that matches the definition of warmth from increased blood flow.

Answer:

C. rubor
