The answer is the third one (C): acute.

Explanation for each option:

  • Sign: This refers to an objective indication of a medical condition that can be observed by others, such as a rash or fever. It does not describe the onset, course, or duration of a condition.
  • Chronic: This term describes a condition that develops slowly and lasts for a long time, often for the rest of a person's life. It is the opposite of what the question describes.
  • Acute: This term means a condition with a rapid onset, a severe course, and a relatively short duration. It matches the description given in the question.
  • Disease: This is a general term for any disorder or malfunction of the body or mind. It does not specify the onset, course, or duration.

Summary: The term "acute" is used to describe a condition with a rapid onset, severe course, and a relatively short duration, making it the correct answer.
