Acute hypothermia is caused by a. rapid loss of body heat b. prolonged exposure to cold temperatures c. excessive drug/alcohol consumption d. cold weather

Correct answer choice is :

B) Prolonged exposure to cold temperatures

Explanation:

Hypothermia is a disease that happens when body temperature falls below 95˚F (35˚C). Acute means the disease starts quickly, gets serious quickly, and lasts a short time. Hypothermia may occur if your body wastes too much heat or cannot keep a consistent temperature. When the stability between the body's heat generation and heat loss tips toward heat loss for a lengthy period, hypothermia can occur. Unintentional hypothermia normally occurs after cold temperature illness without enough warm, dry clothes for security.

The answer would actually be A. Rapid loss of body heat.
