Question

question 2 / 5 which of the following conditions can put you at the most risk of hyperthermia when engaging in outdoor physical activity? a. high heat, low humidity b. low heat, low humidity c. high heat, high humidity d. low heat, high humidity

Explanation:

Hyperthermia is overheating of the body. High heat increases ambient temperature, and high humidity reduces the body's ability to cool via sweating (as sweat doesn't evaporate easily). Low heat or low humidity would not create the same risk—low heat is cooler, low humidity allows better sweat evaporation, and combinations with low heat (B, D) are less risky. So high heat + high humidity (C) is the most risky.

Answer:

C. high heat, high humidity
