The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Symptoms:** The symptoms mentioned in the question are fever, chills, cough, headache, and a severe case of nail color changing from gray to bluish. 2. **Understand the Symptoms:** - Fever and chills are common indicators of infection. - Cough can be associated with respiratory issues. - Headache can accompany many illnesses, especially infections. - The change in nail color from gray to bluish suggests a lack of oxygen in the blood, which is a critical symptom. 3. **Consider Possible Diseases:** - The combination of respiratory symptoms (cough, fever, chills) and the bluish discoloration of nails points towards a respiratory infection. - Pneumonia is a common respiratory infection that can cause these symptoms. 4. **Link Symptoms to Pneumonia:** - In pneumonia, the lungs become inflamed and may fill with fluid, leading to difficulty in breathing and reduced oxygen levels. - This can cause cough (due to fluid in the lungs), fever (as the body fights the infection), chills, and headaches. - The bluish discoloration of nails (cyanosis) occurs due to insufficient oxygen in the bloodstream. 5. **Conclusion:** Based on the symptoms and their relation to pneumonia, the disease responsible for these symptoms is pneumonia. **Final Answer:** The symptoms like fever, chills, cough, headache, and severe case turning of color of nail from gray to bluish occur in pneumonia. ---
