Which term corresponds to swollen and warm?

• A. red and painful
• B. swollen
• C. warm and red
• D. swollen, warm

Answer: (D)

Swelling and warmth are classic signs of inflammation, indicating edema and increased blood flow. The best term to capture both findings is the phrase that lists them together: “swollen, warm.” It directly communicates that both attributes are present, which is why it fits the prompt exactly. The other options either omit one of the features or pair different signs (red, painful) that don’t jointly describe both swelling and warmth.
