Correct Answer: Option B — Temperature is high, pulse is strong and rapid, and skin is hot and dry.
Sun stroke, or heat stroke, manifests with a high core temperature, a strong and rapid pulse, and hot, dry skin. This indicates the body's cooling mechanism has failed completely. This clinical presentation is distinct from heat exhaustion, where the skin typically remains cool, clammy, and pale.
