Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A) May be sudden and severe.
Infants and children have different physiological responses to shock than adults; their condition can deteriorate rapidly, and they may present with less obvious early signs. They often compensate for longer but can decompensate suddenly, making prompt recognition and intervention critical.
