Answer:

c. polyarthritis.

Explanation:

Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that may affect different parts of the body including joints, heart, brain, and skin. It is a rare disease observed after a bacterial throat infection caused by Streptococcus (group A). The most common signs of this disease include swollen and/or tender joints (i.e., polyarthritis), especially in wrists, knees, elbows or ankles, fever, fatigue, pain in the chest, breathlessness, palpitations, etc. Rheumatic fever needs to be treated by antibiotics to eliminate group A Streptococcus infections.
